?? Climate Change in Action: From Myanmar to Brazil ?? As Myanmar battles the devastating floods caused by Typhoon Yagi, we are reminded of the urgent need to address climate change and its far-reaching impacts1. The severe flooding in Myanmar has displaced over **230,000 people** and caused significant damage2. Tragically, at least **19 people have lost their lives**, and **3,600 residents** have been displaced3. Similarly, in Brazil, the Hope Horizons Foundation is actively working to support communities in Rio Grande do Sul affected by unprecedented flooding. The floods in Rio Grande do Sul have affected **2.3 million people** across **90% of the municipalities** in the state?. The disaster has resulted in **182 deaths**, with **386,000 people displaced** and **4,873 in shelters**?.
