=====Key Insights=====
Climate change poses a significant threat to Asia, particularly in coastal regions and island nations. Rising sea levels and extreme weather events are expected to displace millions, creating climate refugees. The report details the vulnerability of countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, and the Maldives, where populations live in areas prone to flooding and sea-level rise. It emphasizes the importance of addressing this issue, as sea levels could rise by 15 centimeters by 2030, putting major cities at risk. Governments and organizations are initiating policies to mitigate risks, but many countries remain unprepared due to inadequate infrastructure, legal frameworks, and disaster management. The report also discusses the implications for Canada, a key destination for Asian immigrants, and suggests that Canada could play a role in providing humanitarian assistance and disaster risk financing.\\
