Climate disasters have become increasingly commonplace and increasingly destructive.
The worst year was 2017 where a combination of devastating hurricane and wildfires resulted in $300 billion in damages.
It was one of the deadliest weather-related disasters in recent history, occurring in one of the most climate vulnerable regions on Earth.
Monsoon flooding in India and Pakistan during the summer caused nearly $6 billion in damages and killed over 1,800 people.
Typhoons, tropical storms, droughts, and other extreme weather events led to additional billion-dollar-+ disasters which have become all too common.
