Asia is facing record heat, rising floods and growing displacement, yet adaptation finance remains far below what countries need to stay safe.

In our new episode of Attributions, we speak with Jeni Miller about what the UNEP Adaptation Gap Report 2025 reveals about the climate finance crisis after COP30, and what this means for health systems, food security, Indigenous communities and frontline workers across Asia.

Adaptation is not only a financial issue. It is a fairness issue.
Those least responsible for the climate crisis are facing the greatest risks.

This episode explores:
• why the adaptation finance gap is widening
• what outdated adaptation plans mean for real communities
• how extreme weather is intensifying faster than resilience systems
• the urgent need for health and food system adaptation
• the growing debt concerns in developing countries
• the path to a fair and equitable climate finance goal
• why adaptation must be guided by climate justice

If you work in climate, sustainability or public policy, this conversation is essential.

A powerful new episode is now live.

We sit down with climate scientist Dr. Emily Theokritoff to uncover the truth behind Typhoons Fung-wong and Kalmaegi storms that became far deadlier because of a warming world.

This conversation breaks down how attribution science proves the link between extreme weather and climate change, why damages are rising so fast in Asia, and what this means for loss & damage finance at COP30.

If you want to understand the science behind the storms and why communities are paying a price they didn’t cause this episode is for you.

Listen now and learn how data can drive justice and stronger protection for vulnerable communities.

Why Asia is warming at twice the global average?

🎙️ Asia’s climate crisis is unfolding in water — sometimes too much, sometimes not enough.

In this episode of Attributions, we explore the twin extremes of Asia’s growing water emergency: the floods that drown homes, and the droughts that quietly collapse livelihoods. From the melting glaciers of the Himalayas to the rain-starved deltas of Southeast Asia, a shifting climate is disrupting everything — food, culture, survival.

With water-related disasters now dominating Asia’s natural catastrophes, we ask: what will it take to protect the people most at risk?

🎧 Listen in to understand why climate action in Asia must begin with water.

Raja Ampat is paradise under threat. 🌿🌊

In this episode of Attributions, we travel to one of Indonesia’s most biodiverse regions — a place where coral reefs meet ancient forests, and Indigenous wisdom guides stewardship of the land and sea.

But behind the beauty, something darker is surfacing. Nickel and coal mining — framed as part of the world’s "green transition" — are endangering the very ecosystems and communities they claim to help.

🎙️ Join us as we dive into the growing fight to save Raja Ampat — where biodiversity, culture, and climate justice converge in one of the most urgent environmental frontlines in Southeast Asia.

Floods, droughts, cyclones — Asia faces it all. But anticipatory action is proving that resilience is possible.

Asia is warming nearly twice as fast as the rest of the world — and 2024 was among its hottest years on record. The result: devastating floods in Nepal, droughts in China, and Cyclone Yagi’s destructive path across Southeast Asia. But alongside the losses, there are lessons in resilience.

This episode of Attributions explores the World Meteorological Organization’s latest State of the Climate in Asia Report. From anticipatory action in Nepal that saved over 130,000 lives, to the urgent warnings that every fraction of a degree matters, the message is clear: science is not just data — it’s protection, dignity, and hope.

Will Asia act fast enough to prevent a four-degree future? Tune in to uncover the science, the stories, and the choices shaping our survival.

Welcome to Attributions!

In this episode, we speak with Ma Thandar Ko Gyi — a diver and marine conservationist — about the complex challenges facing Myanmar’s ocean and the people who depend on it.

From the silent threat of ghost gear to the pressures of plastic pollution and climate change, Myanmar’s coastal communities are on the frontlines of a crisis that is both environmental and deeply human.

🎙️ This Heat Is Not Normal: A Ground Report from India

India’s brutal heatwaves are no longer just summer discomforts — they are a public health and education emergency. In this episode, we speak with Nagraj Adve, a long-time climate communicator and member of Teachers Against the Climate Crisis (TACC), to unpack how extreme heat is disrupting classrooms and endangering children’s futures.

Nagraj has written and spoken about global warming for over 18 years. He is the author of Global Warming in India: Science, Impacts, and Politics, and his work has appeared in leading publications such as The Hindu, EPW, The Wire, and India Today. He has also shared insights on platforms like NDTV and Al Jazeera.
