Extreme climate events such as heatwaves, droughts, and severe storms have been intensifying along the southwest coast.
These events are exacerbating existing environmental challenges and impacting both human communities and ecosystems in the region.
Increased frequency and severity of wildfires have been linked to these extreme climate events, posing significant risks to communities and biodiversity.
Rising sea levels and coastal erosion are further consequences of extreme climate events, threatening infrastructure and coastal habitats.
The study underscores the urgent need for adaptation strategies and policies to mitigate the impacts of these extreme climate events on the southwest coast.
