Report Shows 1 in 5 People Feel Strong Climate Change
(MENAFN) A recent report released on Wednesday highlighted the widespread effects of human-driven climate change, with one in five individuals globally already experiencing its impacts.
Published by Climate Central, an independent scientific organization, the report emphasized that at least 1.8 billion people—accounting for 22 percent of the world’s population—were exposed to temperatures heavily influenced by climate change every day between December 2024 and February 2025.
Over the last three months, the report noted that human-induced climate change, mainly resulting from the burning of coal, oil, as well as methane gas, led to extreme heat across a significant portion of the globe.
During this period, nearly 394 million people faced more than 30 days of "risky heat," a term referring to days with dangerously high temperatures.
Of those impacted, 74 percent were located in Africa. The report defines "risky heat" as days where temperatures exceed 90 percent of the typical local temperatures from 1991 to 2020, elevating the risk of health issues related to heat.
The study also pinpointed February 28, 2025, as the day of highest global exposure, with around three billion people—approximately 37 percent of the world’s population—experiencing these extreme heat conditions.
