On World Environment Day, a bombshell report dropped like a hot reminder: human-driven climate change has forced over 4 billion people worldwide to endure 30 extra days of extreme heat in the past year alone. Scientists say rising temperatures aren’t just melting ice caps—they’re melting our chances of a stable future.
The findings frame the crisis as a human rights issue, hitting vulnerable communities hardest. Imagine sweltering through a month-long heatwave with no relief—this is now reality for billions. CGTN’s Hendrik Sybrandy highlighted the urgency from Colorado, where wildfires and droughts are becoming alarmingly routine.
“This isn’t just data—it’s about lives,” one researcher noted. From disrupted agriculture to health risks, the ripple effects are endless. But there’s hope: global youth-led movements are pushing for greener policies, proving Gen Z won’t sweat in silence.
