The extreme heat and associated events have had widespread impacts, including threats to water supplies, agriculture, and infrastructure. Vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and those with pre-existing health conditions, face heightened risks from prolonged heat exposure. Additionally, sudden and severe events, like storms and floods, have caused significant damage and loss of life, as seen recently in Nepal and Tibet. The unpredictability of these events underscores the need for urgent action to reduce emissions and enhance resilience (New Scientist, 2026).
