Share of the country territory with drought impact in 2024 in comparison to the 2000-2020 baseline drought impact (EEA-38 region)
Chart (interactive)
The chart shows the 2024 drought impacted area and the 2000-2020 average annual area impacted by drought in the EEA-38 region, by country (in percentage of the country area). Note: the reported figures refer to the thresholds and input data used. The reported absolute values may be different if different method and different data are used.
Kosovo*: Kosovo (UNSCR 1244/99)
Note: The reported absolute values may be different if different method and different data are used. Here, drought impact is defined as the % of the country’s territory where vegetation productivity did not recover to the 2000-2020 baseline condition due to drought. Non-recovery was defined as anomalies that are lower than -0.5 standard deviation from the baseline in areas under drought exposure. See more under the supporting information section.

Methodology
Drought impact is defined as the percentage of the country’s territory where vegetation productivity did not recover to the 2000-2020 baseline condition due to drought. Non-recovery was defined as anomalies that are lower than -0.5 standard deviation from the baseline in areas under drought exposure. The vegetation productivity is estimated using the Medium Resolution Vegetation Phenology and Productivity datasets of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service.
