A multifaceted approach was needed in South Asia and elsewhere to tackle the immediate and long-term impacts of heat waves and climate change, experts said.

"Adaptation strategies are crucial for helping communities cope with extreme heat. These include developing heat action plans, improving early warning systems, and creating public awareness campaigns about heat exposure dangers and preventive measures," Bagh Ali, a climate change expert from Pakistan.

Prakash, from India's Bharti Institute of Public Policy, said, "International cooperation and policy interventions are vital for effective adaptation and mitigation efforts, ensuring the region's resilience against escalating heat extremes."
