193 Stories

This beautiful interactive, multimedia piece by the New York Times, vividly displays how climate change is impacting 193 countries.

Here are some examples:

  1. Netherlands. Skating the canals in Amsterdam has been a winter tradition for hundreds of years. But in the last decade, the canals have only frozen three times.
  2. Senegal. Three months’ worth of rain fell in a single day in September 2020, leaving Dakar sunk under algae covered water.
  3. Tanzania. Wildfires are breaking out on Mt. Kilimanjaro.
  4. Kuwait. The temperature in Nuwaiseeb reached 127.7 degrees Fahrenheit.
  5. Switzerland. The warming temperatures are melting the ice and snow pack that holds the mountains together, so now the Swiss Alps are increasingly crumbling.
