> The World Meteorological Organization says the world’s rivers had one of their driest years in more than 30 years in 2025, as glaciers continued to retreat and freshwater reserves declined. It warns that climate change and rising water use are making the global water cycle more erratic, raising the risks of droughts and floods.
