“In this episode the discussion centers on the escalating climate crisis in Asia, with a particular focus on South Asia. Herb introduces the topic by highlighting Asia’s immense diversity-in geography, population, and climate vulnerability-and underscores how extreme weather events, such as record-breaking heatwaves and catastrophic floods, are increasingly reshaping lives across the continent. He notes that the Himalayas, often called the “third pole,” are losing glaciers at an alarming rate, threatening water security for billions, while the region faces mounting geopolitical tensions that complicate collective climate action.”
