According to the World Meteorological Organization, 2024 was the warmest year on record, with an average global surface temperature of 1.55 °C above pre-industrial levels, driven by alarming levels of greenhouse gases (“GHGs”) in the atmosphere. The unprecedented speed of this global warming is a key driver of the triple planetary crisis-climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss— which threatens not only ecosystems but also human well-being. Ambient air pollution alone is responsible for more than 4.2 million premature deaths worldwide annually, while habitat loss and degradation have led to a staggering 73% decline in global wildlife populations since 1970.
