Sustainable Switch: Deadly floods hit Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia

This is an excerpt from the Sustainable Switch newsletter, analyzing companies and governments dealing with climate change. Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia have been hit with deadly downpours, while Australia experienced giant hailstones. Heavy rain also caused flooding in the Gaza Strip, impacting thousands of homeless Palestinians facing a harsh winter without sturdy shelter. Floods have affected over 980,000 homes and 2.7 million people in Thailand, with Malaysia evacuating more than 34,000 individuals from flooded areas. Extreme weather events could become more common due to global warming, with higher sea surface temperatures amplifying tropical storms.
