AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoHeat & Health: A new EU climate monitor says 52% of Europe faced “very strong” heat stress this summer, with heatwaves starting unusually early and lasting longer—fuelled by climate change and linked to tens of thousands of excess deaths. Glaciers & Water Security: Switzerland’s glaciers lost over 5% of ice volume in 2026 and nearly 20% over five years, as dry winters and record melt push more regions toward water stress. Flooding & Urban Risk: In Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City keeps learning to live with floods—but climate change is raising sea levels and intensifying downpours, worsening impacts from rapid urban growth and land subsidence. Climate Justice Finance: Nepal’s foreign minister argues climate justice must mean grant-based, easily accessible funding for adaptation and loss-and-damage, warning the country bears disproportionate harm despite tiny emissions. Policy & Everyday Costs: In B.C., NDP leader David Eby promises gas-pump relief via a motor fuel tax cut and a regulated “price guard,” while critics say the plan strains the treasury. Biodiversity & Conservation: Switzerland’s glacier losses and a Sri Lanka snakebite congress both underscore the stakes for ecosystems and public health, from warming habitats to deadly wildlife encounters.
