Collapse of climate order: Permanent heat cloud over South Asia

PLEASE, THINK ABOUT THE TOPIC AND A FEWS POSSIBLE RECOMMENDATIONS YOU MIGHT PROPOSE TO HELP FIX OR IMPROVE THE PROBLEM

South Asia: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Maldives and Afghanistan.
Climate change has pushed the natural limits of our environment, creating extreme weather events that are more frequent and more intense in certain locations around the globe. There is evidence of increasing trends in temperature extremes in most countries of South Asia. Heatwaves have intensified, which has contributed to accelerating drought and extreme flood events in most South Asian countries [1].
The searing heat is not just a seasonal discomfort but underscores a growing challenge for the region’s overwhelmed health infrastructure. Prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures often causes heat strokes, mainly impacting the poor, outdoor workers, children, and the elderly [2].
Climate change, without mitigation, presents a serious and unique risk in South Asia, a region inhabited by about one-fifth of the global human population, due to an unprecedented combination of severe natural hazard and acute vulnerability [3].
Time is running out, fast. According to a report published by ActionAid, more than 62 million people in South Asia will be forced to migrate from their homes due to climate disasters by 2050. In a best-case scenario, by 2030 there will be upwards of 600,000 climate migrants in Pakistan due to sea-level rise, water stress, crop yield reductions, ecosystem loss, and drought. However, without aggressive global action on emissions, that number is expected to be closer to 1.2 million [4].
