South Asia is at the forefront of the climate catastrophe. As temperatures rise, the region will see hotter weather, longer monsoons, and more droughts. The region's vulnerability is well-known. In the previous 20 years, climate-related calamities have affected 750 million South Asians in eight nations. Devastating repercussions.

In 2020, the powerful Cyclone Amphan displaced almost 5 million people in India and Bangladesh.
