Nearly 1.8 billion people in South Asia will face extreme heat risks by 2030, but market failures and income constraints are forcing them to rely on basic adaptation measures, a World Bank report said on Tuesday.

NEW DELHI:

South Asia is the most climate-vulnerable region among emerging market and developing economies, according to the report titled "From Risk to Resilience: Helping People and Firms Adapt in South Asia."

Temperature projections show that by 2030, approximately 89% of South Asia's population will face extreme heat risks.

In 2021, an average of six hours a day were too hot to safely work outside in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. That is expected to rise to seven or eight hours a day by 2050.
