According to World Meteorological Organization (WMO), a climate related disaster has occurred every day on average in the last 50 years. These disasters are linked to a loss of USD 202 million and killing of 115 people, per day. The frequent and increasing events of flood, drought, wildfires, cyclones, disease outbreaks, food and water security has made it evident that climate change is happening at an accelerated rate than anticipated. The world Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that between 2030 and 2050, an additional 250,000 deaths per year will occur due to heat stress, malnutrition, malaria and diarrhoea. The IPCC report by UN clearly states that a minimum of 3.3 billion people’s daily lives are extremely vulnerable to the changing climate and they are presumed to be 15 times more likely to die from human induced climate change.
