North Asia has the coldest climate due to its proximity to the Arctic, but it also experiences greater relative warming due to what is known as the arctic amplification. [3]: 1464 This has led to permafrost thaw, which acts as a climate change feedback and also places large quantities of infrastructure at risk of collapse. [3]: 1500
The waters around Asia are subjected to the same impacts as elsewhere, such as the increased warming and ocean acidification. [33]: 1465 There are many coral reefs in the region, and they are highly vulnerable to climate change, [33]: 1459 to the point practically all of them will be lost if the warming exceeds 1.5 °C (2.7 °F).
Present-day climate change includes both global warming—the ongoing increase in global average temperature—and its wider effects on Earth’s climate system. Climate change in a broader sense also includes previous long-term changes to Earth's climate .
Asia was the world's most disaster-hit region by climate related hazards last year, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said, with floods and storms causing the highest number of casualties.
Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...
The heat wave has been attributed to a combination of causes, including climate change and El Niño. [1] In some countries, the high heat has caused excessive energy demand. Drought conditions have worsened across the region. In Indonesia, dengue infections increased.

Its findings are based on a scenario in which average global temperatures reach 3.7 degrees Celsius higher than pre-industrial levels by 2100, which is a likely outcome if greenhouse gas emissions ...
