Nearly 12,000 extreme weather, climate and water-related events over the past half-century have killed more than two million people globally and caused economic damage of $4.3T, WMO says
WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said the cyclonic storm Mocha that swept across Myanmar and Bangladesh this month exemplified how the “most vulnerable communities, unfortunately, bear the brunt of weather, climate and water-related hazards.”
WMO acknowledges some caveats to its report: While the number of disasters has risen, some of that may be due to improvements in reporting about extreme weather events that might have been overlooked in the past. Nearly 1,500 disasters hit the southwest Pacific, causing 66,951 deaths and $185.8 billion in economic losses.
