In 2024, human-induced climate change led to an average of 41 additional days of hazardous heat globally, contributing to extreme weather events worldwide. Scientists from World Weather Attribution and Climate Central noted that climate change amplified conditions like heatwaves, droughts, and severe storms, significantly impacting vulnerable areas. The year registered unprecedented heat records, with some regions experiencing over 150 days of extreme temperatures. This situation underlines the urgency of addressing fossil fuel emissions, as warming nears the Paris Agreement's threshold. Experts emphasize the potential to mitigate these effects through climate adaptation and preparation.
