The climate crisis is severely disrupting the Earth's water cycle, leading to devastating floods and droughts worldwide. A report on 2024, the hottest year on record, highlights the lethal and economic impact of water disasters, including 8,700 deaths and $550 billion in damages. Rising temperatures from fossil fuel combustion are causing more extreme weather, such as intensified hurricanes and altered rainfall patterns. This exacerbates flooding, as seen in Asia and Europe, and droughts affecting crop production in Africa. Research indicates increasingly frequent extreme weather trends, warning of heightened risks in 2025. Urgent adaptation measures are necessary to contend with these escalating threats.
