: Heatwaves will become so extreme in certain regions of the world within decades that human life there will be unsustainable, the United Nations and the Red Cross said Monday.
The UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies released the report in advance of next month’s UN’s COP27 climate change summit in Egypt. “There are also likely to be levels of extreme heat beyond which societies may find it practically impossible to deliver effective adaptation for all.
The combined effects of ageing, warming and urbanisation would cause a significant increase in the number of at-risk people in developing countries in the coming decades. “As the climate crisis goes unchecked, extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and floods, are hitting the most vulnerable people the hardest,“ said UN humanitarian chief Martin Griffiths.
