Asia’s Flooding Future: Lessons from Sri Lanka, Indonesia & Malaysia

Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon

Once considered rare, extreme rainfall events are now becoming a regular and destructive reality across Asia. In this episode of Attributions, we speak with Dr. Mariam Zachariah, a climate scientist with the World Weather Attribution initiative, about what’s behind this shift  and what it means for countries like Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Malaysia.

From the science of climate attribution to the social consequences of floods, we unpack how human-driven climate change is increasing the intensity and frequency of extreme rainfall, and why vulnerable communities are paying the highest price.
