Explore the findings of a comprehensive study on the association between heat waves and all-cause mortality in India, revealing significant health risks posed by rising temperatures due to climate change

Explore the alarming projections from the IOM GDI - up to 2.8 billion people at risk of heat waves by 2090. Dive into the interactive Climate Mobility Impacts dashboard, revealing hotspots and providing insights for proactive measures in the face of climate-related displacement.

In a startling revelation, a recent study has sounded the alarm for more than 2.2 billion people residing in India's Indus River valley and eastern Pakistan. The study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) predicts that if global temperatures rise by just 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, these regions, along with northern India, eastern Pakistan, eastern China, and sub-Saharan Africa, will be gripped by heat waves with dangerously high humidity levels.

Climate change is increasing the intensity and frequency of heat waves. This extreme heat, compounded by wildfires and desert dust, is having a measurable impact on air quality, human health and the environment, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

In a stark reminder of the ongoing impact of human-induced climate change, the UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO) issued a warning on Friday, underscoring that the world is witnessing a shift in weather patterns. Heat waves are currently sweeping through various regions globally, and these events, fuelled by climate change, are now being termed the "new normal."

The Northern Hemisphere faces intense heat waves and devastating floods as global temperatures reach record highs. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) highlights the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance adaptation measures. Heat waves are prevalent in Europe, North Africa, and the United States, while heavy rainfall causes floods in various regions. The WMO emphasizes the importance of early warnings and comprehensive flood management to mitigate the impacts of these extreme weather events

The Cerberus heat wave intensifies across southern Europe, with temperatures soaring and surpassing records. Discover the causes, impacts, and the urgent need for climate change adaptation in the face of increasingly frequent and severe heat waves.
