The UN has issued a warning, revealing that the world is not on track to limit warming. The review of national climate plans indicates that global efforts to curb temperature rise are insufficient. These findings are especially significant given the upcoming UN COP30 summit in Brazil, which shows that countries and sectors are off track in addressing climate change. Another alarming report highlights that 'extreme' wildfires emitted over 8 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide during the 2024-25 'global fire season', burning an area of land larger than India. Only around a third of the latest country climate pledges support the 'transition away from fossil fuels', indicating the lack of strong commitment to greener energy. This lack of progress raises concerns as the perceived seriousness of climate change is declining among the public. The collective failure to address this issue is further reflected in the decline in communication about climate change, reducing public perceptions of its severity. These reports underscore the urgency for immediate and decisive action to address the climate crisis.
