The increase in extreme natural events due to climate crises, resulting in challenges for human life, has led to the emergence of this new term. As described by Omar Baddour, Chief of the World Meteorological Organization's Climate Monitoring, "Climate change that is impacting daily weather patterns rather than a distant future threat is
