Many countries across the Asian region are vulnerable to disasters and emergencies, including flooding, typhoons, earthquakes, climate shocks, food security, and issues relating to refugees and internally displaced populations.
For example, the Philippines was hit by 6 typhoons in a 12-month period between 2021-2022, Pakistan was hit by major flooding in 2022 that affected 33 million people, while Bangladesh is prone to flooding and climate change shocks, while also dealing with a refugee crisis from neighbouring Myanmar.
As the impacts of climate change increase, flooding and storms will increase in frequency and severity, which will also impact social and political stability across the region.
