Climate Change: 52% of 2020 Birth Cohort to Face Lifetime Extreme Weather Exposure
A study shows that 52% of people born in 2020 will face climate-change-induced extreme weather events in their lifetime if warming reaches 1.5°C, compared to 16% of those born in 1960; this rises to 92% in a 3.5°C scenario, disproportionately affecting vulnerable groups.

Swiss Landslide Highlights Climate Change's Impact on Glaciers
A landslide in Switzerland's Lötschental valley, triggered by the melting of permafrost and the subsequent movement of the Birch Glacier, forced the evacuation of about 300 people and all livestock; this incident underscores the global threat of climate change to glacial regions.
