In 2024, Bangladesh lost $1.78B due to heat stress on workers and industries, proving how climate impacts the economy.

Human Health Toll

Heatwaves bring heatstroke, dehydration, and strain on the heart. Children, elderly, and outdoor workers remain most at risk.

Urban vs Rural Divide

Cities adapt with cooling centres and AC, while rural villages suffer more due to lack of resources and infrastructure.

Wildfires Spread Faster

Hotter, drier air fuels firestorms that spread unpredictably, destroying homes, habitats, and lives.

Government Adaptation

Nations are opening cooling shelters, planting trees, and building shaded public spaces to help people cope.

Barriers to Adaptation

Poorer nations lack funds for solutions, with families using handmade fans and tin houses as makeshift shelters.

Big Oil’s Climate Liability

Studies trace rising global heat back to major fossil fuel corporations, sparking lawsuits and calls for accountability.

Climate Diplomacy Costs

At COP30, extreme heat disrupted meetings, with hotel shortages and protests highlighting climate’s global reach.

Individual Actions

Planting trees, shading homes, and community awareness campaigns show how small steps help adapt locally.

Future Outlook

Without urgent action, heatwaves will intensify, threatening survival and reshaping how humanity lives on Earth.
