Floods, haze and typhoons hammer Asia in widening climate crisis
Original: From floods across South and South-East Asia to toxic fire haze and typhoons battering East Asia, climate disasters are
Greenpeace is highlighting a wave of climate disasters across Asia, including severe flooding in South and South-East Asia, toxic fire haze, and typhoons striking East Asia. The group says fossil fuels are intensifying the crisis, with homes destroyed, harvests lost, communities cut off, and blackouts leaving families without power. It is calling attention to the millions of people affected and pressing for action on the fossil fuel emissions driving these extreme weather events across the region.
Why now: Multiple simultaneous extreme weather events are devastating communities across Asia, prompting advocacy groups to link the disasters to fossil fuel-driven climate change.
