The Earthâs temperature continues to rise unabated, with 2020 being one of the three warmest years on record, as extreme weather events combine with the COVID-19 pandemic, impacting millions.Â
According to the World Meteorological Organizationâs (WMO) flagship State of the Global Climate report, the global average temperature in 2020 was about 1.2-degree Celsius above pre-industrial level.
That figure is âdangerously closeâ to the 1.5-degree Celsius limit advocated by scientists to stave off the worst impacts of climate change.
The six years since 2015, have been the warmest on record, and the decade beginning up to this year, was the warmest ever.
