In this interview with CGTN America's Asieh Namdar, Prof. Kaveh Madani, Director of the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH), discusses the recent wave of climate disasters—including floods in Texas, New Mexico, and China, as well as the European heatwave—and whether they are linked to climate change. Key topics include: Are these extreme events part of a broader climate pattern? What can governments and communities do to mitigate the impacts of future disasters? Is the Paris Agreement still within reach—and is it enough? How has the U.S. withdrawal and return to the Paris Agreement affected global momentum? How do ongoing global conflicts undermine climate cooperation and multilateralism? Prof. Madani emphasizes the urgent need for stronger governance, global solidarity, and climate justice in responding to an increasingly unstable world. 🎥 Originally aired on CGTN America 🔗 Follow for more insights on climate, water, and environmental governance: https://www.youtube.com/kavehmadani #KavehMadani
