The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has said that 2011-2020 was the warmest decade on record, in a persistent long-term climate change trend. 2016, 2019, and 2020 are recorded as the top three warmest years on record. The series explores how the rising global temperature, flooding, increased landslides, rising sea levels, warming oceans, and droughts are impacting communities mentally.
The episode is part of the mental health series, made possible by a grant from the International Women’s Media Foundation’s Howard G. Baffy Fund for Women Journalists.
