Remote mines are becoming increasingly exposed to extreme temperatures and weather patterns. Climate change is at the root of this issue, with a report from the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reductionrevealing that the number and severity of climate-related extreme weather events has risen by 83% from 1980–1999 to 2000–2019. In 2025 and beyond, the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO)predicts an escalation in major floods, droughts and wildfires.
