[3]: 1494 For instance, coral reefs support 1.5 million fishers in the Indian Ocean and 3.35 million in the Southeast Asia, yet they are highly vulnerable to even low-emission climate change. [3]: 1479 Southeast Asia may lose around 30% of its aquaculture area and 10-20% of production by 2050-2070.
[153] [154] According to Global Forest Watch, this was a 3.1% decrease in primary rain forest in that period. [155] In 2014, the Map of the Peruvia Amazon showed that more than 25% of the lost forest area was part of idigenous territories and protected natural areas. [156] During 2020, the Peruvian amazon lost more than 200 000 hectares. [157]
The Cardamom Mountains rain forests ecoregion spans a total of 44,288.8 km 2 (17,100.0 sq mi) of relatively unexplored rain forest. The ecoregion is bounded by the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest, and the Indochina mangroves ecoregion fringes its shores. The Central Indochina dry forests lie to the east and north, in the rain shadow of the ...
Climate change is also likely to pose a serious threat to the region's fisheries: [141] 3.35 million fishers in the Southeast Asia are reliant on coral reefs, [142]: 1479 and yet those reefs are highly vulnerable to even low-emission climate change and will likely be lost if global warming exceeds 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) [150] [151] By 2050–2070 ...
The threat to the health of reefs is particularly strong in Southeast Asia, where 80% of reefs are endangered. By the 2030s, 90% of reefs are expected to be at risk from both human activities and climate change; by 2050, it is predicted that all coral reefs will be in danger. [150] [151]
According to one report, Thailand will likely be disproportionately affected by the consequences of climate change. [26] Extreme heat in Southeast Asia today reduces working hours by 15–20%, and that figure could double by 2050 as climate change progresses, according to a paper published in the Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health.
South and Southeast Asian countries have been coping with a weekslong heat wave rendering record high temperatures that have posed a severe health risk.. Umbrellas to shield against blazing ...
Since April 2024, several Southeast Asian countries have experienced record-breaking temperatures which have left several people dead. [1] [2] Heat indices peaked at 53 °C (127 °F) in Iba in the Philippines on 28 April 2024. The heat wave has been attributed to a combination of causes, including climate change and El Niño. [1]
