India has to enhance its meteorological infrastructure and adopt a more robust multi-hazard early warning system to avoid loss of lives and minimize the impact of climate change, World Meteorological Organization (WMO) Secretary-General Celeste Saulo told this newspaper on Monday.
The WMO State of the Climate 2024 was released during the United National Climate Conference (COP29), which began in Baku, Azerbaijan, earlier in the day. The report issued a red alert as 2024 is on track to be the warmest year on record. From January to September this year, the average global temperature was 1.54°C above pre-industrial levels. However, from a long-term perspective, the average warming is below 1.5°C.
