Asia remained the most disaster-impacted region in 2024, with climate-related hazards such as floods, storms, droughts, and heatwaves causing widespread human and economic impacts.

The State of the Climate in Asia 2024 Report aims to bridge the gap between climate science and disaster risk management through evidence-based policy recommendations. It is a collaborative effort by National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs), the WMO Secretariat, and UN partners in the region.

This regional report, part of the WMO’s annual State of the Climate series, informs policy and decision makers and society at large about the climate variability and related weather and climate events of the previous year. Their impacts, placed in their long-term climatic context, along with information about climate action based on information from credible and authoritative sources, will raise awareness of the urgency to act. 

WMO, with its partners, will continue to invest in raising climate ambition and accelerating the implementation of sound policy, including the provision of Early Warnings for All in the region, as a key adaptation measure, so that no one is left behind as the climate change crisis continues to evolve.
