– Climate Change Drives Extreme Heat Globally
– Billions Face Health Risks from Rising Temperatures
– Heatwaves Linked to Climate Crisis Escalation
A new report has revealed that billions of people worldwide are increasingly exposed to extreme heat due to the worsening impacts of climate change. The study highlights that global warming has intensified heatwaves, posing severe risks to public health, agriculture, and water supplies.
The report warns that vulnerable populations, particularly in low-income regions, are most at risk from prolonged heat exposure. It calls for urgent climate action, including reducing carbon emissions and investing in adaptive infrastructure, to protect communities from the growing threat of heat-related disasters.
Researchers stressed that without immediate mitigation efforts, the frequency and severity of heatwaves will continue to rise, endangering both lives and livelihoods across the globe.
