A UN-backed report documents catastrophic drought conditions affecting 90+ million people across Africa, Mediterranean, and Latin America during 2023-2025. The analysis reveals systematic failures in drought preparedness infrastructure, with countries lacking proactive mitigation plans while emergency response costs double since 2000. Agricultural losses, energy grid failures, and water system collapses demonstrate urgent need for deployment-ready drought resilience technologies.
