under Earth Day – 2023The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has published a report State world weather 2022which focuses on key climate indicators: greenhouse gases, temperatures, sea level rise, ocean heating and acidification, sea ice and glaciers.
It also highlights the effects of climate change and extreme weather.
The paper, released this Friday, shows planetary-scale changes in the land, ocean and atmosphere caused by record levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases. In terms of global temperature, 2015-2022 were the eight warmest years on record, despite the cooling caused by La Niña in the past three years. Melting glaciers and rising sea levels hit record levels again in 2022will continue for thousands of years.
“While greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise and the climate continues to change, people around the world are still seriously affected by extreme weather and climate events“, said the Secretary-General of the Organization, according to UN News.
WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas explained that in 2022, the ongoing drought in East Africa, record rainfall in Pakistan and record heat waves in China and Europe have affected millions of people. caused food insecurity, provoked mass migration and cost billions of dollars in loss and damage.
“The Early Warning for All initiative aims to fill the existing capacity gap to ensure that all people on the planet are covered by early warning services. Currently, about a hundred countries do not have adequate meteorological services. Achieving this ambitious goal requires improving observing networks and investing in early warning, hydrological and climate service capabilities,” said Taalas.

In this context, UN Secretary-General António Guterres recalls that there are tools, knowledge and solutions. “But we have to pick up the pace. We need fast-track action on climate change with deeper and faster cuts in emissions to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.”
“We also need significant increase in investment in adaptation and resilienceespecially for the most vulnerable countries and communities that contributed the least to the crisis,” António Guterres added.
