Abstract
Asia-Pacific Disaster Report 2025 offers a comprehensive and timely analysis of the growing threat if extreme heat in the Asia-Pacific region. With climate change intensifying the frequency and severity of heat-related hazards, the report presents critical insights into the multi-dimensional impacts of extreme heat on lives, livelihoods, infrastructure, and ecosystems. It provides practical, science-based solutions and regional cooperation strategies to build resilience in one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions. Designed for policymakers, disaster risk and climate adaptation professionals, development agencies, researchers, and regional planners, APDR 2025 transforms cutting-edges science into actionable policy recommendations. It makes a significant contribution to the global conversation on climate resilience by calling for integrated, inclusive, and forward-looking responses to extreme heat and increasingly urgent challenge for sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific.
