"Asian governments are rushing preparations for the most severe El Niño weather
event on record, with hundreds of millions of people bracing for multiple
crises at once as extreme heat, heavy rain and food shortages hit the region.
Fuelled by exceptionally warm ocean conditions across the tropical Pacific –
and developing alongside the human-driven climate crisis – El Niño is virtually
guaranteed to grow to a very strong intensity towards the end of this year and
into 2027.
The World Food Programme has warned that about 50 million people will probably
be pushed into acute hunger due to the exceptionally intense weather system,
while UN secretary-general António Guterres said this month that El Niño was
“being supersized before our eyes”.
Here are the steps countries in Asia are taking to prepare for El Niño"
