Urgent Climate Warnings as COP30 Approaches
Global temperatures are rising faster than before, with significant impacts including coral die-offs, accelerated sea level rise, and risks to ecosystems like the Amazon and Greenland ice sheets. The world is on track to surpass the 1.5°C warming threshold around 2030, triggering irreversible environmental tipping points. Wildfires, heat-related health issues, and policy challenges, especially in the US, further complicate climate mitigation efforts.
