- Аннотация: Drought cannot be defined by geographic boundaries or technicalspecifications. Cause and effect relationships with climate change, foodsecurity, and other global threats require an examination ofinterrelationships. With an ambition to link land to life andsustainability, attention to drought must deepen.Drought has attracted increasing attention, however, action towardscomprehensive drought management has not evolved in scope andactivity commensurate to other disasters. Increased projectedoccurrence and exposure requires equivalent responses to enhancingresilience at scale through the implementation of approaches underthe drought management pillars. The Intergovernmental WorkingGroup on Drought, short IWG, worked to unravel drought complexitiesto facilitate this global transition.Hydrological drought has impacts on ecosystems, societies, andpopulations across the globe. This, in terms, means that droughts alsohave a strong, negative impact across many economic activities. It isdevastating to food production, to agriculture, to industry, and ofcourse to poor households. Reduced amount of water, which meansincreased drought, is thus a very important aspect of the whole socioecologicand -economic system. In the broadest sense, sustainabledevelopment refers to the capacity for socio-ecological systems topersist unimpaired into the future. That means that how we arecombatting droughts has a crucial aspect on to what extent we willmeet the SDGs.The Intergovernmental Working Group on Drought presents itsoutcomes at COP 15, outcomes building on a policy framework whereimplementation and partnerships as well as effectiveness under theConvention, should result in reduced disaster risks and enhancedresilience. This Blue Paper brings extra dimensions to the IWGdocument in deepening several aspects such as: “Policies make adifference”, “Land restoration works”, “Education brings change”,“Media matters”, “Turning the tide” and “New horizons”.The Blue Paper provides context and depth across droughtmanagement dimensions, building on existing frameworks at national,regional and global levels. It presents an analysis of existing systemsand their applicability, appropriateness and accessibility. An evaluativemethodology is used to produce critical inferences consolidatingdiversified perspectives and alternatives. The authors were challengedin bridging the science-policy divide, examining technicalconsiderations and shaping meaningful recommendations. Inrecognising sustainability as iterative, the use of signals and trends addto the reader’s depth of exposure.While we have gained significant knowledge and understanding, thecollective effort remains a priority and this publication, timely andrelevant, can contribute to catalysing needed global action on drought.
