Shiv Shankar, a 66-year-old Indian buffalo herder, stands in front of a dry pit intended for water storage for agriculture as he returns with his water buffaloes across a parched riverbed along the Ganges River amid soaring temperatures in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India, on May 15, 2024. Scientists estimate that climate change increases the likelihood of extreme heat in India by 30 times, and the World Bank indicates that India is likely to be among the first places globally where heat waves could surpass the threshold of human survivability.
