According to some environmental experts, the country is facing one of the most intense heatwaves in its history, with temperatures soaring well above seasonal norms and raising alarms about the country’s environmental and water security. While the current heatwave captures headlines, the deeper environmental crises it signals are being dangerously ignored.
This is a stark warning of the accelerating climate emergency that directly threatens our food systems, water supply and energy security. There is a need for a nationwide climate resilience strategy that places environmental sustainability and water governance at the heart of all development plans.
