**Battling Impact of Climate Change**
The global climate is changing at an unprecedented rate. Rising temperatures, more frequent and intense storms, increasing droughts, and devastating floods are becoming frequent, threatening lives and livelihoods. One of the most evident manifestations of climate change is the rise in global temperatures, leading to more frequent and severe heatwaves. On the contrary, the most devastating consequence of climate change is the increase in unpredictable rainfall, leading to frequent and severe floods. Since the turn of the century, floods and other hydro-disasters have affected more than 2 billion people worldwide, destroying homes and displacing communities.
These consequential climatic variations are not just uncomfortable; they can wreak havoc on buildings, some cause widespread destruction, leaving homes and infrastructure in ruins. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat and stress can weaken building materials and damage foundations, while also increasing the risk of fires. Even though these climate-related disasters affect everyone, they are especially severe for populations in developing countries, where infrastructure is often less resilient to such setbacks. Amid this uncertainty, there is a critical need for solutions that protect communities from climate change’s impacts.
