Climate change poses a growing threat to people and their livelihoods in Asia and the Pacific. Record heat waves, catastrophic floods, prolonged droughts, and extreme weather events became more frequent. Yet critical data gaps hindered our understanding of climate impacts, particularly on vulnerable populations in developing Asia. Drawing on insights from Key Indicators 2024: Data for Climate Action, panelists highlighted the importance of granular data in capturing the nuanced effects of climate change on different regions and communities. Additionally, the discussion explored policies and strategies to enhance data systems to foster inclusive and sustainable development.
