The world is in a state of climate crisis, with science providing an ever-clearer view of the dire consequences of climate change. 2023 was the warmest year on record (WMO 2024). The incidence of natural disasters has increased fivefold over the last five decades (WMO 2021), and economic damages in the first half of 2024 alone have already reached nearly USD 128 billion (Atlas Magazine 2024). Underlining the gravity of the situation, the UN Secretary-General warned that we may be nearing critical planetary tipping points, beyond which recovery could be impossible (UNSG 2023).
