Nowhere is the global climate emergency more immediate than in Asia and the Pacific. Climate-induced disasters sweep across the region with ever-increasing force and frequency. Lives are lost, communities displaced and people’s health damaged. As vital livelihoods, infrastructure and services are disrupted, the most vulnerable are left cruelly exposed and the economic costs are phenomenal. In the region responsible for more than half of global greenhouse gas emissions, with economies powered largely by fossil fuels, climate change is exacerbating poverty and imperiling sustainable development. Now is the time to step up the region’s climate action.
