How El Niño is reshaping weather and wreaking havoc around the world
El Niño, a natural climate phenomenon, is becoming more intense due to climate change, causing extreme weather events and affecting communities worldwide. The Andean region in South America is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of El Niño, experiencing record heatwaves, droughts, heavy rains, and floods. These events are leading to economic losses, water shortages, agricultural damage, and public health issues. The people and economies of the Andean region are adapting to these changes, but they require international assistance to cope with ongoing and future impacts. At the COP28 climate summit, countries in the region are advocating for increased funding to address the challenges posed by El Niño and climate change.
