• The long-term shift in global temperatures and weather patterns continues to be driven by human activities such as industrialisation, agricultural intensification, and the burning of fossil fuels.
• The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) predicts that global temperatures between 2026 and 2030 will range between 1.3°C and 1.9°C above pre-industrial levels, with an 86% chance of surpassing the warmest year on record within the next decade.

Impact & Risks

The rising global temperatures and sea levels pose significant risks to vulnerable communities, including those in India, which is highly susceptible to climate change impacts such as flooding, heatwaves, and agricultural disruptions. The increase in greenhouse gases and ocean heat is expected to exacerbate extreme weather events, threatening food security, water resources, and infrastructure. Developing nations, including India, may face challenges in adapting to these changes due to limited resources and financial constraints.
