    • Abstract:
      The article discusses the increasing frequency of flash droughts caused by global warming. The authors attribute the occurrence of flash droughts to anthropogenic climate change, which has made usually slower-onset droughts come on faster. The study also shows that flash droughts occur more in humid regions and low- and middle-income countries, which have more vulnerable populations and lower financial resources for coping mechanisms.
