In a separate report, the UN’s World Meteorological Organization said there is now an 80 per cent chance that at least one of the next five years will mark the first calendar year with an average temperature that temporarily exceeds 1.5 per cent above pre-industrial levels - up from a 66 per cent chance last year.Speaking about the findings, UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized how quickly the world was heading in the wrong direction and away from stabilizing its climate system.
Coal, oil and gas still provide more than three quarters of the world’s energy, with global oil demand remaining strong. While last year registered as the warmest calendar year on record at 1.45 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures, at least one of the next five years is likely to be even warmer than 2023, the WMO data show.
