BRUSSELS: The EU’s Copernicus climate monitoring service declared 2023 as the hottest year on record, emphasizing that the Earth is approaching the critical 1.5°C limit.
This alarming announcement follows the climate agreement at COP28 in Dubai, where global leaders called for a gradual shift away from fossil fuels, recognized as the primary driver of climate warming.
The report underscores the urgent need for intensified global efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change, as surpassing the 1.5°C threshold poses severe consequences for ecosystems, weather patterns, and sea levels.
