Europe’s Farmers look to a Future of Long-Term Drought August 24, 2022 Unipro2013main Climate Change </p> <h2>Southern Europe in particular is vulnerable to Climate Change</h2> <p> Much of Europe has suffered through repeated heat-waves in recent weeks. And that’s hit economies hard, whether through reduced river-traffic, dried-up farm fields or destructive wildfires. It’s a taste of what warming temperatures could bring the continent in the years ahead.<br /> Southern Europe in particular is vulnerable to climate change. A map from the World Wildlife Fund shows the water scarcity risk across Europe over the next 30 years.<br /> According to the WWF, the number of Euoropeans living in regions of water scarcity will gradually increase. In Spain, Italy and elsewhere across the Mediterranean, that’s a problem.<br /> According to the WWF, the number of people living in water-scarce regions in Europe will increase by 50 percent by 2050.<br /> The threat of drought is likely to grow, along with its impact. That’s bad news for farmers. Here in Germany they are eyeing a poorer harvest than usual. High temperatures and low rain levels are only part of the problem.</p> <p> <br /> Credit to : DW News</p> <p> Please support our Sponsors here :
