Floodwaters Reach Taj Mahal Walls As Climate Change Exacerbates Flooding

The Yamuna River has risen to the walls of the Taj Mahal due to heavy rain.
It is the first time since 1978 that floodwaters have reached the famous monument.
Nearby monuments and gardens have been damaged but the Taj Mahal itself is not under imminent threat.
Experts warn flooding is increasing in frequency and severity due to climate change.
India is one of the countries most vulnerable to the impacts of the climate crisis.
