Climate change increases the frequency and severity of droughts. Impacts - such as the dried-up river bed in the photo - are more severe in developing than in developed countries. About 60% of the benefits that the global ecosystem provides (such as fresh water, clean air and a relatively stable climate) is being degraded or used unsustainably.
