The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres stated, 'We have just endured a decade of deadly heat. The top 10 hottest years on record have happened in the last 10 years, including 2024. This is climate breakdown, in real time.'
WMO Secretary General Celeste Saulo said, 'Every degree of warming mattered and led to increased climate extremes. This year, we saw record-breaking rainfall and flooding events and terrible loss of life.'
Guterres emphasized the urgency, stating, 'In 2025, countries must put the world on a safer path by dramatically slashing emissions and supporting the transition to a renewable future. It is essential, and it is possible.'
The WMO reported, 'Climate change intensified 26 of the 29 extreme weather events studied in 2024, which killed at least 3,700 people and displaced millions.'
