Global Climate Change: New Records and Future Challenges for the Planet
In 2024, the global community faced critical and rapid climate changes that have significantly impacted our planet’s ecological state.
Over recent months, the Earth’s average temperature has already surpassed pre-industrial levels by 1.5°C, setting numerous historical records and drawing international attention to the growing threat of global warming.
Extreme weather phenomena — hurricanes, heavy rains, droughts, and forest fires — are becoming more frequent and destructive, adversely affecting millions worldwide.
Scientists warn that if these trends continue and the average temperature increases by another 2.7°C over the next century, the consequences for ecosystems and humanity could be catastrophic.
This situation calls for urgent global measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and intensify efforts to combat the climate crisis, or else we face greater uncertainty and destruction of natural environments.
