Climate change has wide-ranging effects on various natural disasters globally, including wildfires and floods. The changing climate influences the frequency and intensity of these events, posing significant challenges to communities and ecosystems.
One of the most evident impacts of climate change is the increasing frequency of wildfires in many regions. Rising temperatures and prolonged droughts create favorable conditions for vegetation to become highly flammable. As a result, wildfires occur more frequently, burning larger areas and causing destruction to habitats, properties, and infrastructure.
Conversely, climate change also intensifies precipitation patterns, leading to more frequent and severe rainfall events and an increase in floods. Heavy rainfall overwhelms drainage systems and natural waterways, causing devastating inundations and erosions. Coastal areas are additionally at risk due to rising sea levels, amplifying the impact of storm surges during tropical cyclones and hurricanes.
