His remarks came against the backdrop of the US, under new US president Donald Trump, withdrawing from the Paris Climate Deal. Hours earlier on Thursday, climate data showed January 2025 marked the eighteenth month out of nineteen above the crucial 1.5°C warming threshold, with temperatures reaching 13.23°C - a stark 1.75°C above pre-industrial levels. The persistent heat has defied La Niña conditions.
