UN agency: 2M killed, $4.3 trillion in damages from extreme weather over past half-century

Extreme weather conditions have been responsible for the deaths of at least two million people and caused a whopping $4.3 trillion in damages over the last 50 years. These staggering statistics were released by the United Nations (UN) agency for disaster risk reduction. The study reveals that floods, storms, and other weather-related disasters have become more frequent and intense due to climate change. The report also warns that the cost of extreme weather could spike to $100 billion annually by 2100, and calls for immediate action to counter the effects of climate change. The UN’s findings underscore the urgent need for countries to address the root causes of climate change, and to implement measures to mitigate the effects of extreme weather. As global temperatures continue to rise, it is becoming increasingly crucial for us to take steps to protect ourselves and our planet. It’s time for all of us to work together to reduce our carbon footprint and safeguard our future.
