Large-scale solar energy parks have been sparking land conflicts in west Rajasthan, which have galvanised into a state-level protest now.
It’s well known that hotter temperatures due to climate change are dangerous to human health. But when paired with high humidity, this intense heat can be especially deadly. These extreme weather events, known as humid heat waves, are rapidly intensifying and increasing in frequency as the world warms.

Cities across the region are expected to endure up to 120 days a year above 35°C by 2050, with Thailand's capital seen to be hit the hardest, according to a study by the Asean Centre for Energy.
