Beneath the Storm: WMO’s Climate Warning for Asia
Floods, droughts, cyclones — Asia faces it all. But anticipatory action is proving that resilience is possible.
Asia is warming nearly twice as fast as the rest of the world — and 2024 was among its hottest years on record. The result: devastating floods in Nepal, droughts in China, and Cyclone Yagi’s destructive path across Southeast Asia. But alongside the losses, there are lessons in resilience.
This episode of Attributions explores the World Meteorological Organization’s latest State of the Climate in Asia Report. From anticipatory action in Nepal that saved over 130,000 lives, to the urgent warnings that every fraction of a degree matters, the message is clear: science is not just data — it’s protection, dignity, and hope.
Will Asia act fast enough to prevent a four-degree future? Tune in to uncover the science, the stories, and the choices shaping our survival.
