Abstract

The climate crisis has mounted to such immense levels of concern that in 2024, the Earth’s average surface temperature was at an all-time high, with July 2024 seeing the three hottest days ever recorded. The World Economic Forum has named three key climate risks as the top global challenges--extreme weather conditions, critical change to Earth systems and biodiversity loss. All three are interconnected and can have devastating consequences, including the collapse of ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity. As per predictions, the world is likely to breach the 1.5°C threshold within the next year, with temperatures reaching 1.48°C above pre-industrial averages. This increase will lead to intense and more frequent natural disasters such as hurricanes, droughts and wildfires.
