Abstract
This study investigates the impact of anthropogenic forcing on global drought characteristics using an ensemble of CMIP6 climate models. The findings indicate that anthropogenic forcing has increased drought frequency, maximum duration, and maximum intensity in the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Regional variations are attributed to the interplay between greenhouse gas and aerosol forcings.
