Karmactive Team2021 saw floods like never before. More than 35 countries across the world encountered floods at the same time, with over 900 fatalities within a month. Floods are the costliest natural disaster. Climate change, global warming, and human activities are driving such extreme climatic conditions. Floods are only one of the many natural disasters occurring at this time. It is important to understand the reason for recurring floods and try to be a part of the solution, to stop frequent floods and hence move towards reversing the global climate crisis.
