2020 was one of three warmest years on record, despite cooling La Niña
Extreme weather and COVID-19 combined in a double blow
New York/Geneva, 19 April 2021 (WMO) – Extreme weather combined with COVID-19 in a double blow for millions of people in 2020. However, the pandemic-related economic slowdown failed to put a brake on climate change drivers and accelerating impacts, according to a new report compiled by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and an extensive network of partners.
The report on the State of the Global Climate 2020 documents indicators of the climate system, including greenhouse gas concentrations, increasing land and ocean temperatures, sea level rise, melting ice and glacier retreat and extreme weather. It also highlights impacts on socio-economic development, migration and displacement, food security and land and marine ecosystems.
2020 was one of three warmest years on record, according to a new report, despite La Niña – the large-scale cooling of the ocean surface temperatures in the Pacific.
Global average temperatures last year reached around 2.16°F (1.2°C) above the pre-Industrial Revolution levels (1850-1900), reveals the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The six years since 2015 have been the warmest on record, while the period 2011 to 2020 was the warmest decade on record, WMO says in its State of the Global Climate 2020 report, published today.
Not even the economic slowdown caused by the coronavirus could put a brake on the drivers of climate change, including greenhouse gas emissions, WMO says.

Activists and regional analysts are slamming ASEAN for inviting the Burmese junta chief to a special summit called for this coming weekend to discuss the turmoil in member-nation Myanmar after the military coup.
Myanmar military ruler Min Aung Hlaing is among leaders of the Association of the Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) expected to attend the meeting, which is to take place at the regional bloc’s headquarters in Jakarta on April 24, a spokesman for the Thai foreign ministry said.
“I can confirm that Brunei [the ASEAN] Chair has proposed the date April 24 with venue at the Secretariat in Jakarta. Several leaders have confirmed their attendance including Myanmar’s MAH. Some leaders have yet to confirm,” spokesman Tanee Sangrat told BenarNews via a text message.
