The same is true for methane and nitrous oxide, which are part of the main greenhouse gases.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">Furthermore, we have seen a boost in the melting of glaciers, and that\u2019s bad news when it comes to water availability \u2013 populations are going to suffer water shortages because of that in the coming decades.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">We have also seen a boost in sea-level rise. It used to be about 2 millimeters per year around 20 years ago, but recently, we are observing around 4.4 millimeters per year.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">We have seen lots of extreme climate events worldwide and some of them would not have been possible without the impact of climate change. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">For example, the flooding in Germany and heatwaves in Canada and the western USA are quite unusual and temperature records are being broken in Siberia and Italy because of climate change.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">So far, we\u2019ve seen around 1-1.2 degrees Celsius warming, and in the coming 20 years, it is likely that we will reach the lower limit of the Paris Agreement of 1.5 degrees. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">There\u2019s a certain urgency, and with the facts we are providing, we are motivating heads of state and negotiators to proceed with climate mitigation.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">For us, adaptation is also highly important \u2013 we have to keep adapting to these changes because the current negative trend in weather patterns will continue until the 2060s. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">We already have such a high concentration of carbon dioxide that, for example, the melting of glaciers and sea-level rise will continue for the next hundreds of years.<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 34px; line-height: 48px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #0b6603;\"><b><i>How can Asia overcome its challenges to reach the last mile by using early warning systems?<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">We have some fairly advanced countries in Asia. In Japan, for example, which we regard as a \u2018department store of disasters\u2019, has created some innovate solutions for handling them. Once a high-impact weather event occurs, national broadcasters, Parliament, and all actors know what they have to do to minimize the impacts of these events.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">But Japan has also learned through events like the Fukushima catastrophe, which led to the improvement of their early warning services. Everything depends on the development stage of a country \u2013 in less developed countries, these services may not be so advanced and that creates higher vulnerabilities for the population and could result in higher human and economic losses.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">WMO is helping share knowledge and best practices from our most advanced members to those who need the most assistance and we have seen some positive developments.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">Viet Nam, for example, has been actively investing in their basic observing systems and their early warning services and they can nowadays cope with the impacts of typhoons and heavy rains in a much better fashion than before. The whole machinery from early warnings to concrete action at the authority and businesses levels are functioning much better.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">We have also been able to actually minimize the number of casualties. In the 1970s, there were millions of people worldwide who died because of these events, but today, these numbers are significantly dropping thanks to early warning systems. But not all of the countries have proper services yet and this work needs to be continued.<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 34px; line-height: 48px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #0b6603;\"><b><i>What should the focus of South Asian governments be to adapt to these events?<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">Besides climate mitigation, which is of course a high priority, we should also pay attention to climate adaptation. One very powerful way to adapt to climate change is to invest in early warning systems \u2013 these are also economically viable investments as you typically get your money back in protection from loss of lives and economic damages.<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/vhxVpVh61Oc?list=PL1Z2HgrrG-lHuPqNWOYrbnkauDrO1eFLK&#8221; el_width=&#8221;60&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 34px; line-height: 48px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #0b6603;\"><b><i>To reach the 1.5 degrees target and net zero carbon emissions, what should South Asian countries focus on?<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<a style=\"text-align: left; font-size: 20px; color: #000000; line-height: 28px; text-decoration: none;\">One of the biggest challenges is to get rid of use of fossil fuels, so we have to convert our energy fleet from coal-fired to renewable sources.
