The study, led by WaterAid with academics from the University of Bristol and Cardiff University, shows widespread drying throughout European cities. These include the Spanish capital Madrid, which was ranked second among the 49 drying cities, and the UK capital London, ranked 44th. Findings also indicate that almost one in five of the cities studied are experiencing \u2018climate whiplash\u2019, defined as intensifying floods and droughts.<\/p>\n<p>All European cities analysed exhibit drying trends over the past 42 years, the report found. London, Paris, Berlin, Stockholm and Istanbul could all see more frequent and long-lasting droughts as a result. Some European cities are facing \u2018climate hazard flips\u2019. Barcelona and Madrid are experiencing a particularly strong flip from wet to dry. Around the globe, around 13 per cent of cities are switching to a more extreme wet climate, while the remaining 7 per cent are shifting to a more extreme dry climate.<\/p>\n<p>The study also compares each city\u2019s social and water infrastructure vulnerabilities &#8211; alongside new data on climate hazards spanning 40 years &#8211; to identify which are the most vulnerable to extreme climate changes and the least equipped to handle them. Vulnerabilities examined range from poverty to poor water and waste systems. Severe urban flooding can damage sanitation facilities, spreading diseases such as cholera and typhoid, whilst water shortages during droughts can leave millions of families without essential water.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2025\/03\/12\/what-is-climate-whiplash-new-report-reveals-dangers-of-flooding-and-drought-in-european-ci\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-687\/\">What is climate whiplash?
