This World Environment Day – observed annually on June 5 – warning signals are everywhere.
The past eleven years have been the eleven hottest on record.
And the damage goes far beyond rising temperatures – from polluted air to degraded land, collapsing ecosystems, and vanishing biodiversity.
Harming health, destroying homes and deepening hunger.
The world is heading for a temporary overshoot above 1.5 degrees.
Every fraction of a degree brings greater harm – especially to the most vulnerable.
