Climate Change is worsening: Cooperation between countries is necessary to solve this global challenge!

Did you know that the recent devastating heatwave that South Asia recently experienced has caused temperatures to be as high as 2 degrees above normal? In the past 2 months India (the country where I live), Thailand, and Bangladesh have recorded temperatures going up to 45°C.

Such high temperatures have had devastating effects causing forest fires in Thailand and leading to a large number of deaths in India and Bangladesh. The large number of deaths have mostly been of economically disadvantaged people, this is as they are having to bear the brunt of the heatwave.

I find it very disappointing to see that despite countries promising to collaborate and work towards reducing climate change it is expected that the 1.5°C threshold decided by the Paris Agreement. It said that there is a 66% chance that the world is set to pass this threshold. Many scientists have also said that extreme events like these will become more frequent if emissions are not reduced. I hope that countries now start taking climate change more seriously, as there is not much time left.
