In its latest report, @WMO estimates that a very warm episode of the El Niño phenomenon between now and 2027, will lead to the global average temperature temporarily exceeding the 1.5°C threshold, breaking temperature records.

Listen to @WMO's message here.

Forests are home to the majority of the world’s terrestrial #biodiversity.

Protecting & preserving our forests is about more than just us.

💚Our future depends on how we treat our forests today.

Private jet emissions in Europe more than doubled last year. This is alarming, the #IPCC just told the world to eliminate emissions asap 🚨✈️ Most people won’t miss ultra-polluting private jets.

Join the movement to #BanPrivateJets

Global impacts of El Niño and La Niña

#ElNino | #LaNina are the opposite phases of ENSO, which is short for El Niño-Southern Oscillation.

Operating in the tropical Pacific Ocean,
ENSO is Earth's singlest most influential natural climate pattern.

Global mortality
from outdoor fine particle pollution

The burning of fossil fuels,
e.g. coal, petrol, diesel,
is a major source of airborne fine particulate matter,
and a key contributor to the global burden of mortality and disease.
