Asia is experiencing severe weather extremes, from record heatwaves in Japan and South Korea to deadly floods and landslides in China, India, and Pakistan. Over 100 people are missing in India’s Uttarakhand after a cloudburst, and nearly 300 have died in Pakistan from rain-related incidents. In China, floods have led to an outbreak of the chikungunya virus. Experts warn Asia is warming nearly twice as fast as the global average, with $2 trillion lost to climate-related disasters over three decades. These events are causing significant business disruptions, including damaged infrastructure, agricultural losses, and reduced labor productivity, leading to economic strain. Experts note that climate change is making such events more frequent and intense.
