Enhanced soil moisture-temperature coupling could exacerbate drought under net-negative emissions

S. K. Mondal, S. An, et al.

Discover groundbreaking research by Sanjit Kumar Mondal, Soon-II An, Seung-Ki Min, Tong Jiang, and Buda Su that reveals how net-zero emissions are surprisingly more effective for drought mitigation than net-negative targets. This study uncovers alarming trends indicating that net-negative emissions could exacerbate drought conditions, particularly in vulnerable regions like Central Africa and South Asia. Learn about the implications for water management strategies in the face of climate change.
