Asia is heating at twice the global average, with rising sea levels and extreme weather affecting millions. Immediate climate action is imperative.

Asia Faces Alarming Warming and Climate Threats

Asia's rapid warming, at twice the global average, threatens millions with extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and glacier loss, demanding urgent climate action.

Asia faces rapid warming and extreme climate events, including heatwaves, rising sea levels, and glacier loss, threatening millions.

Asia, the largest continent in the world with around 60 per cent of the global population, is now warming nearly twice as fast as the global average, according to a report released on Monday.
The sea surface in Asia is also warming at nearly double the global average over the past decades, said the World Meteorological Organization&rsquo;s &ldquo;State of the Climate in Asia in 2024&rdquo; report.
&ldquo;In the two most recent subperiods (1961-1990 and 1991-2024), Asia, the continent with the largest land mass, extending to the Arctic, has warmed faster than the global land and ocean average,&rdquo; the report said.
In 2024, the average temperature in Asia was about 1.04 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2020 average, making it either the warmest or second warmest year on record, depending on the dataset.
Many parts of the region saw extreme heat events this year.
Prolonged heatwaves hit East Asia from April to November. Japan, the Republic of Korea and China broke monthly average temperature records repeatedly.
India reported nearly 48,000 cases of heatstroke and 159 deaths due to extreme heat in 2024.
Sea levels rose faster than the global average on both the Pacific and Indian Ocean sides of Asia, increasing risks for low-lying coastal areas, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said.
Reduced winter snowfall and extreme summer heat severely affected glaciers.
In the central Himalayas and Tian Shan, 23 out of 24 glaciers lost mass. This has increased the risk of disasters like glacial lake outburst floods and landslides and poses a long-term threat to water security.
Extreme rainfall caused severe damage and heavy loss of life in several countries, while tropical cyclones brought destruction. Droughts caused major economic and agricultural losses.
&ldquo;The State of the Climate in Asia report highlights the changes in key climate indicators such as surface temperature, glacier mass and sea level, which will have major repercussions for societies, economies and ecosystems in the region. Extreme weather is already exacting an unacceptably high toll,&rdquo; said WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo.
International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) Director General Pema Gyamtsho said, "Given Asia's population and economic exposure to the impacts of temperature rise, it is an injustice that the devastating consequences of inaction on climate goals are hitting some of the most vulnerable communities and ecosystems on Earth." He said this is the last decade of action on preserving essential planetary resources, including our glaciers.&nbsp;

How many times have you witnessed a sporting body apologising to an athlete? Rarely, right? But it has happened with Indian star shuttler PV Sindhu and that too on her 27th birthday on Tuesday.  
Badminton Asia Technical Committee chairman Chih Shen Chen apologised to the two-time Olympic medalist for the human error made by the referee during Sindhu's semifinal match against Japan's Akane Yamaguchi at Badminton Asia Championships in April. 
The incident took place in Sindhu's match at the time when the former world champion had won the first set and was leading 14-11 in the second game. Sindhu was handed a point penalty for time wasting which shifted the momentum on Yamaguchi's side. The game then went to a decider which the current world champion Yamaguchi won.  
Sindhu didn't waste time and had written a letter to the world body and the Asia badminton confederation protesting against the umpiring. 
Apologising to Sindhu, the official said in a letter that there is no rectification at this time and they have taken the necessary steps to avoid a repetition of this human error.
"We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to you. We believe it is part of the sport and that it is accepted as such," the letter further reads.
The Hyderabad shuttler compromised with a bronze medal and didn't appear in the medal ceremony to show her dissatisfaction.
