Natural Disasters
Rising CO2 emissions worsen global warming, amplifying the severity of natural disasters like wildfires, hurricanes, cyclones, heatwaves, and droughts. These events devastate communities, causing loss of life, property damage, and displacement. Urgent action to mitigate climate change is crucial to address these escalating threats and protect vulnerable populations and ecosystems.
"The probability of compound events has likely increased in the past due to human-induced climate change and will likely continue to increase with further global warming" - IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change)
