Typhoon Fung-wong has battered the Philippines with winds nearing 200 kilometres an hour, becoming the country’s twenty-first storm this year. Over 1.4 million people have been evacuated, and at least five deaths have been reported. The storm follows Typhoon Kalmaegi, which killed more than 200 people just days earlier. Experts link the increasing intensity of storms to climate change, as warmer oceans fuel stronger typhoons. Meanwhile, at the COP30 climate summit in Brazil, world leaders are meeting to discuss solutions. Over 160 nations are attending, but major targets remain unmet even as global emissions and extreme weather continue to rise.
