SUMMARY:GlobeDrought Final Workshop Day 1: Drought & Drought Risk at the Global Scale
DESCRIPTION:Understanding and reducing drought risk are key priorities in (inter-)national policy documents and agendas\, and the need for improved knowledge and information on drivers\, hotspots and dynamics of drought risk and on knowledge-based solutions for strengthening resilience has been repeatedly stressed by scientists\, practitioners and policy makers. Responding to these needs the GlobeDrought project\, a 42-months project (08/2017–12/2020) funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)\, aims to characterize meteorological\, hydrological and agricultural drought events and associated risks comprehensively. It investigates how droughts impact water resources/supply\, crop productivity and agricultural systems. Results are presented in a web-based drought information system. The project combines global-scale analyses with detailed analyses for selected case study regions heavily affected by droughts\, including South Africa and Zimbabwe. Further information is provided on the project website. \nThe goals of the virtual workshop are \n\nto take stock of pressing policy needs related to droughts as well as of approaches available to characterize\, monitor and forecast drought events and associated risks\, and to develop policy recommendations\,\nto create a common understanding of current knowledge\, working being done in the GlobeDrought project (and beyond)\, and gaps that need to be addressed\, and\ndevelop recommendations for science\, practice and policy.\n\nKeynote speaker: \n\nDay 1 – Dr. Jürgen Vogt\, European Commission\, Joint Research Centre (JRC)\, Global Drought Observatory (GDO)\, Italy. ”Assessing drought risk at the global scale: relevance\, approach & challenges”\n\nExpected Outcomes\nThe outcome of the workshop will be a policy brief that integrates key results and findings from the GlobeDrought project and the inputs\, group discussions\, and post-workshop engagement of participants. Further\, the workshop might also open up opportunities for joint publications in the Natural Hazards and Earth Systems Sciences (NHESS) special issue “Drought vulnerability\, risk\, and impact assessments: bridging the science-policy gap” which is co-organized by GlobeDrought researchers. \nWe look forward to your participation!
