350.org urged countries to protect their citizens from climate harm and rising costs, and to urgently start transitioning their economies away from fossil fuels.
The WMO’sState of the Global Climate 2025 pronounced 2015-2025 as the hottest 11 years on record, warning that weather has become more extreme on a day-to-day basis, impacting millions of people and causing billions in economic losses.
