Main Body

Examples of extreme weather events and geophysical phenomena:

Glacial Lake Outburst Flood increase
Kedarnath 2013 flood
Urban flooding more severe e.g. Delhi, Bangalore (2022)
Huge monsoon (exacerbated by Eddying) and Kerala floods (2019)

Drought:

Intensity is becoming more severe for e.g. Southern Europe (2023)
Causing wildfires & further drought e.g. Australian bushfire (2018)
Frequency is increasing e.g. Western USA

Implications on Vulnerable Communities:

2Social Impact
Increasing poverty level (World Bank 2019) - more effect on women, child & old aged people.

3Political Impact
Promises made by political parties to mitigate global warming => living marginalized sector.

Steps that can be taken:

Global collaboration: more serious efforts from developed nations needed
Agenda 21 (1992): Community Participation e.g. LIFE Campaign
Funding: mobilization e.g. through green bonds
Insurance of marginalized Community against climate disaster
