Fig. 4: Drought risk factor between the late 20th century and the late 21st century.

From: Sustainable development substantially reduces the risk of future drought impacts

Fig. 4

Risk factors of moderate (a, d, g, j), severe (b, e, h, k) and extreme (c, f, i, l) droughts by the late 21st century (2070–2099) under different scenarios relative to the historical baseline period (1971–2000). Hazard (12-month drought), exposure, and vulnerability are normalized for the risk calculation. See Supplementary Fig. 11 for the drought risk factor derived from non-normalized hazard, exposure, and vulnerability.
