Global Climate Crisis: Worsening Human, Economic, and Environmental Toll.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has released its latest State of the Global Climate report, which shows that the last eight years were the warmest on record, and that sea level rise and ocean warming hit new highs. The report highlights the importance of investing in climate monitoring and early warning systems to help mitigate the humanitarian impacts of extreme weather. The WMO also stresses the need for deeper, faster emissions cuts and massively scaled-up investments in adaptation and resilience, particularly for the most vulnerable countries and communities.
