Bangladesh braces for 30-fold increase in alarming climate change impact<\/strong><\/p>\n

A recent intense heatwave in Bangladesh and other Asian countries, linked to human-caused climate change, underscores the pressing need for global climate action. The heatwave, which brought record temperatures, damaged infrastructure, and caused health issues, is consistent with the planet’s 1.2\u00b0C warming since the pre-industrial era. Scientists found that such extreme heat events in India and Bangladesh are now 30 times more likely due to climate change. Additionally, urban heat islands, gender-based vulnerabilities, and inequalities exacerbate the impact. Experts emphasize the importance of inclusive heat action plans and comprehensive measures to mitigate these deadly heatwaves, urging global adaptation efforts.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”18494″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https:\/\/www.nation.com.pk\/18-May-2023\/pakistan-netherlands-discuss-urgent-action-for-flood-risk-mitigation”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Climate Change and Environmental Cooperation in Paki\u00adstan held discussions with the Dutch Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) team on the need for immediate action to implement mitigation measures and create additional river space to miti\u00adgate flood risks in the country.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”18495″ img_size=”medium” onclick=”custom_link” link=”https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-65631464″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]<\/p>\n

Climate change worsened Asia’s April heatwave by 2C – study<\/strong><\/p>\n

A recent study reveals that climate change caused a severe heatwave in Asia, elevating temperatures by at least 2\u00b0C, with India, Bangladesh, Thailand, and Laos experiencing record highs up to 45\u00b0C in April. This research indicates that climate change made the heatwave 30 times more likely. Thailand’s extreme heat was intensified by high humidity and forest fires. The Philippines also saw temperatures reach 37\u00b0C, resulting in heatstroke cases among schoolchildren. Tragically, 13 people died from heatstroke in India. The study emphasizes that heatwaves disproportionately affect vulnerable populations and outdoor workers. It underscores the urgency of addressing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate such events. Another study predicts a 66% likelihood of surpassing the 1.5\u00b0C global warming limit by 2027.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n
