on the 18th local time, the world meteorological organization released the report "united in science", which pointed out that the world is still far from achieving important climate goals.the impacts of climate change and severe weather are reversing development gains and threatening the well-being of people and the planet.
the world meteorological organization said that greenhouse gas concentrations have reached record levels and the gap between emission expectations and reality remains large. under current policies, there is a two-thirds chance that global temperatures will rise by 3 degrees celsius this century. celeste szalo, secretary-general of the world meteorological organization, said urgent action is needed now to support sustainable development, climate action and disaster risk reduction. artificial intelligence is revolutionizing weather forecasting and making it faster, cheaper and more convenient. but science and technology alone are not enough to meet the global challenges of climate change and sustainable development. in an increasingly complex world, we must embrace different knowledge, experiences and perspectives to create solutions together.
the report points out that human-caused climate change has led to widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere and biosphere. 2023 was the hottest year on record, with frequent extreme weather events, a trend that continued in the first half of 2024. from 2021 to 2022, global greenhouse gas emissions increased by 1.2%, and global average surface concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide also set new records.
