00:00Six different countries appear to be grappling with the same climate risks, that's according
00:06to a UK-based study.
00:09Researchers at the University of East Anglia recently published a collection of eight studies
00:14focusing on Brazil, China, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, and India.
00:18The report, printed in the international scientific journal called Climatic Change, suggested
00:24risks like biodiversity, crop losses, flooding, and drought exposure greatly increased for
00:29each additional degree of global temperatures.
00:32However, researchers project that by limiting rising temperatures to the parameters set
00:37up under the Paris Agreement, 1.5 degrees Celsius, countries like Ethiopia, China, Ghana,
00:42and India could see reductions in the rate of drought severity.
00:46While the study was focused on these specific countries, a co-author of the study, Jeff
00:50Price, says other nations are projected to experience similar issues.
