People in the tropics and subtropics that makes up about three-fourth of the world's population, could experience strong, rapid changes in both extreme temperatures and rainfall over the next 20 years, unless greenhouse gas emissions -- the primary driver of climate change -- are reduced dramatically, a new study has found.
The Paris Agreement aims to limit the rise in global average temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
