The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) confirmed in its latest report that 2025 is expected to be among the three hottest years since climate data began to be recorded.
Continuing a worrying series of record-breaking temperatures
that the planet has witnessed in recent years.
The organization explained that current climate indicators show
a continued increase in greenhouse gas emissions.
This leads to the melting of sea ice and the retreat of glaciers.
Extreme weather phenomena are intensifying in various parts of the world.
Including heat waves, devastating storms, and flash floods.
Effects of climate change
The report indicated that global temperatures during 2025 are on track
to exceed normal averages by a significant margin.
Driven by the long-term effects of climate change
The El Niño phenomenon contributes to raising the temperature
of the oceans and the atmosphere.
The organization also warned that the continuation of this
trend will increase the pace of climate disasters.
It affects food and water security in large areas of the world.
Urgent action
In its statement published on its official website,
The organization stressed the importance of taking urgent action
to reduce carbon emissions and committing to implementing the Paris Climate Agreement.
She stressed that delaying action would make controlling global warming more difficult.
This report comes after 2024, which was officially ranked as the hottest year in recorded history.
This is a clear indication of the worsening climate crisis and the need
to accelerate international efforts to address it before the critical point is reached.
