Samantha Burgess, C3S deputy director, warned that the world is "teetering on the edge of passing the 1.5-degree level," emphasizing the urgent need for climate action.
Burgess explained that while individual years may exceed the Paris Agreement targets, it's the long-term averages that matter, indicating a troubling trajectory for global temperatures.
Climate change has led to significant weather events in 2024, with wildfires in Brazil, floods in multiple countries, heatwaves in Europe and West Africa, and massive tropical storms.
The World Weather Attribution organization highlighted that 26 extreme weather events were exacerbated by rising global temperatures, underlining the direct impact of climate change.
