Summary

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 5 April 2021, shows a part of the Abruzzo region in Italy that is currently at risk of extreme drought, as reported by the latest ANBI Water Resources Observatory bulletin. This dire situation is confirmed by the analysis of drought indicators performed by the European Drought Observatory. Droughts induced by climate change may lead to increased damage to crops. A recent study published in the scientific journal Environmental Research Letters indicates that, over the past 50 years, the severity of crop losses in Europe as a consequence of droughts has tripled, reducing European cereal yields by an average of 7.3%. Copernicus, the European Union’s Earth Observation Programme, provides free and open satellite data that can be used to monitor droughts and their impact on crops. In addition, it includes two Drought Observatories, a service, operated by the Copernicus Emergency Management Service, which provides drought-related indicators and early warnings for droughts in Europe (EDO) and globally (GDO).
