A recent UN report has confirmed that the last decade has been the hottest in recorded history, coinciding with carbon dioxide levels reaching an unprecedented high not seen in 800,000 years. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warns that the world is perilously close to exceeding the 1.5°C threshold set by the Paris Agreement, highlighting alarming trends in climate change. With 2024 marking the warmest year on record for both air and oceans, a series of extreme weather events have led to record displacement and unprecedented climate disasters worldwide, stressing the need for immediate action to mitigate these impacts.
