This document discusses how climate change is increasing tensions between droughts and floods. It provides the following key points: 1) Strong evidence shows climate change is causing more severe droughts and heavy precipitation events, intensifying the tension between droughts and floods. 2) Droughts and floods are closely related - as precipitation patterns change, drought-prone and flood-prone areas are shifting. 3) Both droughts and floods pose risks to global and national security by potentially exacerbating other challenges like food insecurity and infrastructure damage. Preparedness and resilience measures are needed to reduce impacts.
