Extreme weather brings unusual sights resulting from extreme circumstances. |
From Indonesia’s devastating forest fires at the end of last
year, exacerbated by El NiƱo, to aid agencies calling for urgent action as
droughts and floods trigger widespread food shortages in Africa, Asia and the
Caribbean, it’s in the developing world where the impacts are most felt.
In our new extreme weather hub, we’ll be digging into what’s
happening in some of the countries hardest hit by extreme weather events: from
micro-insurance schemes in India to climate change lawsuits in Vanuatu and
Peru.
Our aim? To look at the role businesses and financial
institutions are having (or should have) in building resilience and helping
prevent and mitigate the effects.
