2024 is shaping up to be the hottest year on record, with global temperatures exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
This warming trend, driven by human-caused climate change, has led to intense heatwaves and severe storms across the globe.
These extreme weather events highlight the urgency of addressing climate change, with scientists calling for immediate action to prevent further warming.
