In this year 2024, alarming news is shaking the international community: the observation that the average temperature of the planet will exceed 1.5°C of global warming. An announcement from the European climate monitoring agency, Copernicus, which resonates like a warning signal to all of humanity.
Despite all the efforts and discussions undertaken at COP29 in Baku, it is undeniable that global warming is a tangible, palpable, and now very worrying reality. Recent scientific reports leave no doubt that climate change is underway, and that the impacts on our planet and our societies are increasingly visible.
The fundamental question that arises today is the urgency of action. States around the world have until next February to present their new targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It is imperative that concrete and ambitious measures are put in place to limit global warming and mitigate its devastating effects.
Indeed, the consequences of exceeding the 1.5°C of global warming are already visible across the world. Extreme weather events, melting ice, rising sea levels, disruption of ecosystems… The alarm signals are multiple and it is more than ever time to act collectively and determinedly.
Faced with this alarming reality, it is crucial to raise awareness among the general public, political decision-makers, businesses and citizens about the climate emergency. Everyone has a role to play in this fight to preserve our planet and our future.
It is time to adopt more sustainable lifestyles, promote renewable energies, rethink our consumption and production methods, and place the ecological transition at the heart of our priorities. Every gesture counts, every action is important, and it is together that we will be able to meet this colossal challenge that lies before us.
In this year 2024, exceeding the 1.5°C of global warming must be a new electroshock for all of humanity. Time is running out, the urgency is palpable, but hope remains as long as we act collectively, in solidarity, and determined to transform our world for the good of present and future generations.
