Findings from the South-Eastern European region

While Asia-Pacific, Central America and the Caribbean, and East Africa are all well-known climate change “hot spots,” one other region is experiencing the increasingly severe effects of climate change combined with a high level of vulnerability: South-Eastern Europe. Over recent decades, rain has become more erratic – with an overall annual decrease in rainfall but an increase in severe rainfall events and subsequent flooding. At the same time, periods of drought are becoming prolonged and water shortages becoming more severe (UNESCO 2023c).
