Study: Heat, Drought Affect 90% of World's Population, Losses Reach $1 Trillion

The exacerbation of food insecurity, soil deterioration, and water scarcity in different regions of the planet are dramatic events that challenge the international community.

The year 2022 is considered a strong warning bell for the planet, after the spread of drought, fires, and the deterioration of agricultural soil, in addition to the widespread hunger in different regions. Therefore, the climate is considered one of the biggest challenges that the world is going through in the current 2023.

And several climate experts warned that the year 2023 will be the worst in terms of heat intensity, and meteorological authorities in several European countries.

The experts expected a temperature rise of 1.2%, while it is going through the first warm winter in its history.

The world has never been exposed to temperatures like this only 9 times, and if the predictions are correct, this will be the tenth year in which the temperature reaches these rates, which warns of climate losses amounting to a trillion dollars if quick steps are not taken.
