Droughts with no agro-climatological extremes.

ABSTRACT: While droughts are primarily linked to climatic conditions, socio-economic factors, such as social vulnerability to drought, significantly influence the impact of drought events. In many vulnerable regions, droughts can occur even when there are minor or no significant deviations from typical agro-climatological conditions. This is often due to socio-economic factors like conflicts, migrations, and economic downturns. However, there has been limited exploration of these "Droughts with No Agro-Climatological Extremes (DNACE)" in terms of their spatio-temporal distribution and analysis. In this study, we aimed to fill this knowledge gap by identifying when, where, and how DNACE events occurred globally. We achieved this by integrating a sub-national geocoded disaster database (GDIS) and a co
