KARACHI (Bernama-Anadolu): Nearly 90 per cent of South Asia’s population will be at risk of extreme heat and almost one-quarter at risk of severe flooding by 2030, a new World Bank study warned on Monday, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported.
The report, titled "From Risk to Resilience: Helping People and Firms Adapt in South Asia,” based on case studies from Bangladesh, India and Pakistan, said South Asia is one of the world’s most climate-vulnerable regions due to its dense population, rising temperatures, and exposed geography.
