Summary
This paper draws on substantial evidence showing the region’s exposure to extreme climate-related events such as floods, droughts and cyclones as well as unprecedented rainfall and temperature variations. Case studies show that extreme weather events are impacting communities economically and socially due to environmental losses, damage to infrastructure and erosion of livelihoods with consequences for human rights and social justice in the region
