Study predictions are more severe than droughts more frequently around the world

Xinhua News Agency, Tokyo, June 29 (Reporter Huayi) A new research prediction carried out by Japan and South Korean research institutions. In the near future, more serious droughts may occur more frequently around the world.

The National Institute of Environment of Japan issued a bulletin on the 28th that the institute's cooperation with the University of Tokyo, the Korean Academy of Sciences and Technology and other institutions on the relevant impact on global climate change conducted research. The team uses data models to evaluate the changes in global river traffic in different climate scenarios and the frequency of drought -related droughts related to these changes.

According to the bulletin, it is estimated that the results show that some parts of the Mediterranean coast, parts of South America, and northern Africa are in the first half of this century or in the middle or middle. Essence However, research has also found that if the greenhouse gas can be reduced, the more severe drought time will be delayed or the duration of drought will be shorter.

Researchers believe that this shows the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and it is necessary to quickly and efficiently adopt adaptive measures related to climate change in specific areas in specific areas.

The results of this research have been published in the British "Nature · Communication" magazine.
