Since 2000, the number and duration of droughts have risen 29%
From 1970 to 2019, weather, climate, and water hazards accounted for 50% of disasters and 45% of disaster-related deaths, mostly in developing countries
Droughts represent 15% of natural disasters but took the largest human toll, approximately 650,000 deaths from 1970-2019
