<div style="margin:0px"><b>Abstract</b>: <span style="margin:0px;font-size:15px;color:rgb(32, 31, 30);background-color:white">Concurrent droughts across multiple regions threaten global food security, agricultural markets, reinsurance industries, and consequently,
the global economy. I will discuss our ongoing research on understanding the historical characteristics and physical drivers of spatially concurrent droughts across several tropical and subtropical regions. I will also discuss the how projected 21st century
warming is likely to affect concurrent droughts, their drivers and associated exposure of societal systems.</span></div>
