UN demands action on extreme heat as world registers warmest day.

U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is calling on countries to address the urgency of the extreme heat epidemic, fueled by climate change — days after the world registered its hottest day on record.
"Extreme heat is the new abnormal," Guterres said on Thursday. "The world must rise to the challenge of rising temperatures," he said.
Climate change is making heat waves more frequent, more intense and longer lasting across the world.

        It's alarming but not surprising. The UN's call to action is crucial. We've ignored climate change for too long, and now we face record-breaking heat.

          It is alarming to see the world burning but those who are supposed to be on the front line have taken a back seat and decided to buy more time with fossil fuels.

              This is a clear indication of the kind of future we are likely to have if we do not take necessary precautions to deal with climate change.

                To lessen the effects of climate change on vulnerable groups, comprehensive measures that emphasise resilience, adaptation, and sustainable behaviours should be implemented.

                  @walter_lungayi Countries and communities need to develop adaptation solutions and implement actions to respond to current and future climate change impacts.
