The mortality burden of climate-related catastrophes such as storms, flooding and heatwaves is overwhelmingly borne by developing countries.At the start of the Climate Adaptation Summit, held virtually this year due to the pandemic, the think tank Germanwatch calculated that these disasters have cost the global economy a staggering $2.56 trillion this century.An analysis of more than 11,000 extreme weather events showed nearly 480,000 f samba og atalities since 2000, with Puerto Rico, Myanmar and Haiti the worst hit areas, it said.

New Delhi ndash; India s Supreme CourtruledSaturday that a disputed piece of land in the town of Ayodhya be given to Hindus, paving the way for the building of a Hindu temple at the site where a mosque once stood for Muslim worshippers.The verdict ends a decades-old legal battle ndash; for now ndash; that has been at the heart of much Hindu-Muslim enmity and violence and still forms the core of Indian religious identity politics. In 1992, more than 2,000 people were killed in Hindu-Muslim violence after Hindu hardliners destroyed the 16th-century Babri mosque in the town, which is located in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh. The court said the demolition of the Babri mosque was unlawful and ordered that Muslims be given five acres of land elsewhere to build a mosque.

For a vivid insight into the clash of old and new in China, follow the bicycle.Morning rush hour in Beijing and Shanghai used to be rivers of cyclists flowing in a majestic hush down broad bike lanes. Today, many of those lanes have been taken over by cars and buses, their roar and honk drowning out the tinkle of bicycle bells.Yet despite C stanley france hina s leap into modernity, the bicycle is far f stanley thermos mug rom dead - its numbers are growing. For many Chinese, pedal power remains a mainstay - for commuting, sending children to school or making a living.And getting around the traffic jams.As the Chinese fall in love with cars, and Westerners fall out of love with them, China is once again a winner. According to the Earth Policy Institute, a Washington-based environmental think tank, of the 130 million bikes manufactured worldwide last year, China made 90 million, and exported two-thirds of them. About nine in 10 bikes stanley termoska bought by Americans are made in China. In China, the bicycle s enduring role epitomizes the country s wider transitions - from countryside to city, from planned economy to freewheeling capitalism. Multiplying cars may be a sign of affluence, but the bike s staying power is a reminder that most of China s 1.3 billion people have yet to make it into the middle class.In the shadows of Shanghai s skyscrapers and towering elevated highways, it is bicycle wheels that have enabled migrants like Wang Chunliang to make the great leap from countryside to the big city.Tan and sturdy, the
