Climate Crisis Escalates as Global Warming Nears Critical Threshold

A new report warns of unprecedented climate conditions and calls for urgent action ahead of the UN summit.

The 2024 State of the Climate report highlights record-breaking extremes in 25 out of 35 tracked planetary vital signs.
Fossil fuel emissions have reached an all-time high, with consumption increasing despite the growth in renewable energy.
The global average surface temperature, ocean acidity, and sea levels are at record highs, while ice masses are at record lows.
Scientists warn that without stronger policies, the world is on track for 2.7°C of warming, far exceeding the Paris Agreement target.
The report calls for immediate policy changes, including a global carbon price, enhanced energy efficiency, and a shift towards plant-based diets.
