2024: Warmest Year on Record, 2025 Outlook

2024 marked the warmest year on record, surpassing the 1.5°C Paris Agreement threshold due in part to El Niño; while La Niña is expected in 2025, slightly cooling global temperatures, 2025 will still likely rank among the three warmest years recorded.

What were the key climate events of 2024 and their global implications?

2024 was the warmest year on record, exceeding the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C threshold above pre-industrial levels. This surge, partly driven by El Niño, is unlikely to be surpassed in 2025 due to the anticipated La Niña event, which typically cools global temperatures. However, 2025 is still projected to be among the three warmest years ever recorded.

What is the primary flood risk facing the Netherlands, and what are its immediate consequences?

The Netherlands, with 60% of its land susceptible to flooding and 26% below sea level, faces its greatest flood risk from rivers. A 29% risk of river flooding necessitates extensive public works and a national culture of flood prevention. The 1953 floods, causing 1,836 deaths, prompted the Delta Works project, a continuous system of dams and barriers costing €2.3 billion.

What is the immediate impact of implementing microforests in urban areas, given the extent of global deforestation?

Microbosques, small, densely planted tree areas, are being implemented in cities globally to combat deforestation and improve urban environments. Over 420 million hectares of forest have been lost since 1990, highlighting the urgency of urban reforestation efforts. These microforests, inspired by the Miyawaki method, grow up to 10 times faster than monoculture forests, reaching maturity in 2-3 decades.

How do changing weather patterns and inadequate government response contribute to the displacement crisis in the Gulf province?

The displacement is linked to changing weather patterns and rising tides, impacting agricultural yields and fishing practices. This environmental shift, coupled with the lack of government support, creates a humanitarian crisis, as highlighted by climate activist Duncan Gabi and local councillor Mai Trevor. The ongoing census might reveal a larger-than-estimated displaced population.
