Unlike climate change–fueled hurricanes, floods, and other weather disasters that wreak fast and obvious havoc, drought sneaks into our lives more slowly — eroding the resources needed to live daily life. And with 2026 expected to be the hottest year in recorded history, thanks in part to an extraordinarily powerful El Niño, the coming months will bring a deadly combination of extreme heat and extreme drought that we as journalists need to explain to our audiences and public officials so they can respond accordingly.

While droughts have always been a part of human history, climate change is creating conditions that expand, intensify, and extend their impact. Last year, global drought affected nearly one-third of the planet — not due to simply less rainfall, but rather to the fact that a warmer atmosphere is substantially “thirstier.” As temperatures rise, evaporative demand increases, pulling more moisture from streams, reservoirs, soils, and plants, making drought more likely, and harder to recover from. Recent research estimates that by 2050, drought will lead to a 20% reduction in crop production across two dozen countries, leading to death toll of over 3 million — far outpacing other weather-related fatalities connected to tropical systems. 

In the US, nearly half the population is currently battling drought after a particularly dry winter and an excessive heat event in March that was found to be “virtually impossible” without climate change. This is not just a weather story; like climate change in general, drought acts as a “threat multiplier.” Already, for example, dry vegetation coupled with little seasonal snow and rain have kicked off an early wildfire season across the US, Europe, and Southeast Asia — signalling a long, more dangerous season ahead. 

This year’s anticipated “super’ El Niño will further disrupt temperature and precipitation patterns, and may set the stage for more devastating droughts and wildfires. Months of drought triggered by the previous El Niño in 2024 created “the worst food crisis in decades” in Southern Africa and amplified wildfires in the Amazon, emitting more heat-trapping gases. This year’s El Niño may well have even more punishing impacts. Climate scientist James Hansen estimates that it may drive global temperatures to 1.7 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels — further intensifying that atmospheric thirst. 

While droughts are notoriously complex phenomena, making the climate connection in your drought coverage needn’t be complicated. To help audiences comprehend the far-reaching impacts of climate change, consider including a sentence like this: Warming temperatures are changing the dynamics of drought and amplifying its effects on water resources, food supplies, wildfires, and ecosystems. To understand how drought manifests in your area and what is needed to resolve it, interview a meteorologist or hydrologist at your local weather or climate office. Understand that while a good soaking rain may alleviate some immediate fire risks and garden woes, droughts are often not resolved overnight. 

Droughts are complicated and their impacts are systemic — varying by region and dependent not only on meteorological factors but also on how humans manage land and water resources. The best coverage will reflect that reality.

Bigger cars including electric can cause multiple harms, yet resistance to rise of US-style vehicles has had mixed support

On a brisk winter’s evening in Europe’s automotive heartland, a cyclist who had pushed for safer streets went out on his bike for a final time. Andreas Mandalka had documented dangerous driving and shoddy cycling infrastructure for years, measuring the margins at which cars zipped past him and posting videos of blatant violations. While quick to remind readers that only a small proportion of drivers behaved badly, the 44-year-old blogger in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, had grown frustrated with authorities for failing to act. He felt they viewed him as a nuisance.

As he cycled down a straight stretch of renovated road that runs parallel to a forest path he had flagged for poor quality, lights bright on his bike and helmet firm on his head, he was fatally struck from behind by a car.

Researchers say 481-metre wave in fjord was triggered by rockslide linked to climate crisis

A mega tsunami in Alaska last year in a fjord visited by cruise ships is a stark warning of the risks of coastal rockslides and glacier retreat fueled by the climate crisis, a new study warns.

Scientists recorded the world’s second-tallest tsunami after it struck the Tracy Arm fjord in south-east Alaska last August after a massive rockslide around the toe of a glacier. The tsunami reached 481 metres (1,578ft) in height; by comparison the Eiffel Tower is 330 metres (1082ft).

LO QUE TIENES QUE SABER

• Faltan 36 días para que comience el Mundial, que se disputará bajo amenaza de temperaturas extremas que podrían alterar para siempre cómo se juega al fútbol bajo el calor. Del 11 de junio al 19 de julio, 16 ciudades en Canadá, México y Estados Unidos acogerán a los 48 equipos que competirán por la Copa. El torneo arrancará en el Estadio Azteca de Ciudad de México y la final se jugará en el Estadio Nueva York/Nueva Jersey. 
• Monterrey, Dallas y Miami, algunas de las anfitrionas, podrían registrar temperaturas de más de 35 °C (95 °F). Esto, junto con la previsión de un Niño supercargado, puede poner en riesgo la salud de jugadores, trabajadores y aficionados. El calor extremo causa golpes de calor, deshidratación e insuficiencia renal. Es la principal causa de muerte relacionada con impactos climáticos. 
• Ante lo que se viene, la FIFA ha impuesto pausas de hidratación de tres minutos en el minuto 22 de cada tiempo de juego, una medida que algunos profesionales creen que puede cambiar por completo la táctica durante los partidos. El exjugador costarricense y entrenador de la selección sub-17 de Estados Unidos, Gonzalo Segares, lo explica en este podcast que abre el debate sobre si los partidos de fútbol se van a jugar en cuatro cuartos, y no en dos tiempos. Esta medida, que ya está en marcha en algunos países, no sólo afecta a entrenadores y jugadores, sino también a las retransmisiones y a los anunciantes. 
• 2022 fue el primer año en el que el Mundial no se jugó en verano, debido a las altas temperaturas en Qatar y el sindicato mundial de futbolistas ya alertó de su preocupación. ¿Veremos más mundiales en los meses menos calurosos? Puedes explorar qué otras medidas de adaptación o mitigación se han tomado este año en las ciudades anfitrionas. Ya hemos visto las consecuencias del calor durante otras citas deportivas, como los Juegos Olímpicos.  
• La ciencia es clara respecto al vínculo entre la quema de combustibles fósiles y el aumento de las temperaturas globales del planeta, y tu audiencia debería conocer esa conexión. La FIFA ha presentado un plan ambiental pero no ha evitado las críticas después de que varios estudios señalaran a este Mundial como el más contaminante hasta la fecha, en parte por celebrarse en tres países, lo que multiplica los viajes en avión.

The author has become acutely aware of how the climate crisis is affecting women – and, in her new book, she argues that it’s time for mainstream western feminists to join the dots

Natasha Walter is halfway through explaining how she came to be politically radicalised when a young woman approaches the cafe table. We two middle-aged women look like “the most trustworthy people here,” she says, so could we watch her baby while she grabs a coffee? Like the solid citizen she is, Walter doesn’t take her eyes off the pushchair parked by the cafe steps for the next five minutes, though all we can see of the occupant is a tiny swinging foot. Sorry, where were we? Ah yes, the groundbreaking feminist writer who famously argued in her 1998 book The New Feminism that Margaret Thatcher had broken down barriers for women was explaining why she no longer really believes it’s possible to be rightwing and a feminist, as Theresa May or Amber Rudd insist they are.

“I can’t support just any woman getting into power, because I think a system that leaves too many women in the shadows – that condemns too many women to poverty or worse – is not a feminist system, and I don’t think you can call yourself a feminist if you’re going to prop up that system,” she says, eyes still glued to the baby for whom we are briefly responsible. “It’s not my kind of feminism.” Her younger self, she admits, would have thought her too uncompromising. But something in her seems to have hardened, facing a world she sees as threatened by the rise of far-right authoritarianism on one hand and a climate emergency on the other. “In the past I always wanted to be a broad church, I always thought any woman can be a feminist, but now I really am feeling … maybe I’ve been radicalised.”

Europe punished Russian billionaires over the war in Ukraine. It should do the same to those abetting an ecocidal regime

The ecological disasters of the US-Israel war with Iran are already bad enough. The noxious smoke from bombed oil facilities, spills in the Gulf’s waters, the contamination of farmland and groundwater with toxic chemicals unleashed by explosions and their debris, the millions of additional tons of CO₂ spewed into the atmosphere. But as bad as it is, the Iran war hides another conflict: the ecological war that Donald Trump’s US is waging against the rest of the world.

When the EU and UK imposed individual sanctions, travel bans and asset seizures on Russian oligarchs, it wasn’t because most of them were individually responsible for Vladimir Putin’s colonial war of aggression against Ukraine. They were targeted because, as a class, they were viewed by many as inextricable from the apparatus of corruption and levers of power of the Russian state threatening global stability.
