Low Water Level On The River Elbe In Magdeburg As A Result Of Climate Change

A man and a child walk across exposed riverbed rocks due to low water levels on the River Elbe in Magdeburg, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, on August 25, 2022. Prolonged droughts and rising temperatures linked to climate change significantly reduce water flow in many parts of the river. (Photo by Michael Nguyen/NurPhoto)
