Globally, more than 8,32,000 people died and losses exceeded USD 4.5 trillion during the same period, based on inflation-adjusted figures.Dominica, Myanmar, and Honduras emerged as the most-affected countries between 1995 and 2024, while St Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, and Chad topped the list for 2024 alone. The report, released at COP30 in Belem, highlighted that around 40% of the world's population-over three billion people-live in the 11 countries most severely impacted by storms, heatwaves, floods, and other extreme weather events.
