Warming at unprecedented rates, our planet faces a dire climate scenario due to sluggish governmental responses globally. Key upcoming events like COP30 call for countries to submit thorough climate plans, yet only a fraction have done so, leaving the world at risk of catastrophic warming effects.
The world has witnessed human-caused global warming reach 1.36°C in 2024, pushing average temperatures to 1.52°C—a level triggering significant climate change impacts. Reports stress that the escalating greenhouse gas emissions are depleting the carbon budget, with severe global economic and social costs looming if significant actions aren't expedited.
To avert climate calamities, nations require real-time, reliable data for evolving climate strategies. Special emphasis is needed on equitable participation and robust commitments from developed countries, ensuring global strides toward reduced emissions and adherence to the Paris Agreement's targets as COP30 looms.
