A new multi-agency report coordinated by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) provides an update on the latest data on the state of weather, climate, water and related environmental and social sciences. The report warns that climate change and dangerous weather impacts are threatening development gains \u2013 but hopes that new technologies and innovations can reverse these trends.<\/p>\n
The report, titled \u201cUnited in Science 2024,\u201d examines how advances in the natural and social sciences, new technologies and innovations are improving our understanding of the Earth system. It highlights their \u201cgame-changing\u201d role in supporting climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction (DRR) and sustainable development.<\/p>\n
The report notes that when the Paris Agreement on climate change was adopted in 2015, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were projected to increase by 16 % by 2030 compared to 2015. Today, that projected increase is 3 %. Despite this progress, the report says the emissions gap by 2030 \u201cremains large.\u201d To limit global warming to 2\u00b0C and 1.5\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels, global greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced by 28 % and 42 %, respectively, by 2030, \u201cfrom levels assumed under current policies,\u201d according to a WMO press release.
