Climate change intensifies humid heat and extreme weather risks
Climate change is increasing the intensity of humid heat in Indian cities and raising the risks of extreme weather events, particularly in the Himalayas, according to reports. Human activity is also cited as a factor in these heightened risks. Separately, extreme rain caused landslides and mass evacuations in eastern Japan. Global coverage also noted climate change as an "existential threat" to green spaces in England and a pressure on health systems in the Asia-Pacific region.
