IN-2020-000035-PAK Insect Infestation Pakistan Pakistan is experiencing its worst locust infestation since the 1990s. According to initial estimates by the Chamber of Agriculture, as much as 40 percent of crops in the country have been destroyed. This includes food crops such as wheat and vegetables and commodity crops such as cotton. The extended monsoon season has provided conditions that have allowed the locusts to continue breeding and surviving for longer in the Indo-Pakistan border region. Food insecurity is already high in the country, with over 3 million people in IPC Phases 3 and 4, particularly in Balochistan and Sindh provinces. Damage to crops at this magnitude is not only a threat to food security in the affected communities, but also poses a challenge for livelihoods as many rural farmers use the money from selling crops to pay off debt and survive financially during the off season.

HT-2026-000097-CHE
Heat Wave,Switzerland: A widespread, intense late-June heatwave in Europe has shattered numerous temperature records and had major impacts on human health, ecosystems, agriculture, infrastructure and labour productivity. It is accompanied in some areas by worsening drought and the risk of wildfires, as well as localized violent storms. Extreme heat is expected to occur at increasing frequency and intensity and duration, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Europe is the world's most rapidly warming continent. “Heatwaves like this are what we expect to see in a changing climate,” said John Kennedy, head of climate information at WMO. “In the 50 years since the historic heatwave in 1976, Europe as a whole has warmed by around two degrees. It's the fastest warming continents and extremes of temperature have increased too,” he said. “The IPCC's sixth assessment report showed that hot extremes have increased - in frequency and intensity - over most of the world's land surface and across Europe there is high confidence that there is a human contribution to that observed warming,” he added.

The heatwave - which moved up from the Iberian Peninsula - will spread over large parts of Western, Central, and Southern Europe within the next two weeks, according to one of WMO's regional European climate monitoring centres, which is led by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). According to current forecasts, the focus of the heat is likely to shift more towards the Balkans
