Studies show climate change hits the Global South hardest, with South Asia taking a major blow. This region faces a “new climate normal.” Folks there must adapt to fiercer heat waves, cyclones, droughts, and floods . South Asia’s climate vulnerability stems from several factors :
– Heat spike: South Asia’s yearly average temps have jumped about 0.75°C in the last hundred years.
– Nature’s fury: From 1990 to 2008 natural disasters wreaked havoc on over 750 million people in South Asia claiming 230,000 lives.
Sea-level rise: The Himalayas’ quick snow loss and climbing seas endanger over 200 million folks in Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. This puts their way of life at risk.
– Economic impact: Six nations – Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka – face a possible hit to their combined economy. It could shrink up to 1.8% each year by 2050. By 2100, it might drop 8.8% on average.
– Heatwaves: Cities in South and Southeast Asia will face a scorching future. By 2080, about a billion urban dwellers might sweat through a month of brutal heat .
– Water cycle: Changes to the water cycle paint a mixed picture. Dry spots in West and Central Asia, could turn into dust bowls. Meanwhile, East, Southeast and South Asia – already soaked by monsoons – might need to break out more umbrellas and sandbags. These wet regions face a rising tide of flood risks.
