One important issue that the year 2025 has highlighted for the world is the immediacy and intensity of the climate crisis. Across continents, many communities and ecosystems have confronted a series of extreme weather events this year. These events have demonstrated our vulnerabilities in terms of infrastructure, governance and preparedness.
The unprecedented heat waves and catastrophic floods, droughts and storms have illustrated the consequences of global warming, which are not only accelerating but have also become increasingly unpredictable. As a result, we must learn to adequately address the human, environmental and economic costs. This requires both scientific assessments and practical methods.
One of the most pervasive climate issues of 2025 was the record-setting heat waves. These were distinguished not only by their intensity but also by their scope, as they affected millions of people in regions previously considered less vulnerable to extreme temperatures.
For example, India and Pakistan experienced an early and severe heat wave, with temperatures exceeding 48 degrees Celsius in multiple urban centers. The consequences included: local infrastructure being overwhelmed, power grids strained, water supplies disrupted and health emergencies, resulting in hundreds of heat-related deaths.
