No other region on Earth experiences more climate, weather, and water-related disasters than Asia, according to a new report. The World Meteorological Organization released its 2023 State of the Climate in Asia today, which found that risks are only rising. From heatwaves to flooding and storms, climate change makes all kinds of disasters more intense all over the world.
A warming world boosts the amount of moisture in the air as evaporation increases. That can lead to more intense downpours. Tropical storms can also pick up more energy in the form of heat from warming oceans. Sea surface temperatures hit record highs across Asia last year, according to the WMO report. And as glaciers melt and oceans expand, rising sea levels make coastal communities more vulnerable to flooding.
