How might the court's recognition of potential corporate liability for climate change affect future climate litigation efforts worldwide?

The court's decision, although dismissing Lliuya's case, is considered a landmark ruling by environmental groups. This is due to the court's unprecedented recognition of corporations' potential liability for climate change impacts across borders, potentially setting a precedent for future climate lawsuits.

How does the ENCC address both emission reduction and adaptation to climate change impacts in Mexico, and what are the potential challenges to implementation?

The ENCC prioritizes adaptation to climate change impacts like water scarcity and extreme weather, crucial for Mexico given its vulnerability. The plan includes a map of 253 municipalities needing climate adaptation, facilitating resource allocation and international funding. However, concerns remain regarding the compatibility of the strategy with existing fossil fuel projects.

Record Global Temperatures Predicted for Next Five Years

The World Meteorological Organization and the UK Met Office predict an 80% chance of a new global temperature record in the next five years, driven by human-induced climate change, resulting in more frequent and intense extreme weather events.

What are the underlying causes of the increased likelihood of exceeding the 1.5°C threshold compared to a decade ago?

This prediction is based on over 200 forecasts from ten global scientific centers, using computer simulations. A key finding shows a concerning likelihood (86%) that at least one of the next five years will exceed the 1.5°C threshold, and a 70% chance the five-year average will do so. This represents a stark contrast to a decade ago, when the probability of exceeding 1.5°C was only around 1%.

What are the broader implications of the projected temperature increase, considering both short-term and long-term effects?

The projections, based on over 200 forecasts from global scientific centers, show a concerning trend. Ten years ago, exceeding the 1.5°C threshold was considered unlikely; however, it was surpassed last year. Now, there's a small but real possibility of reaching 2°C of warming above pre-industrial levels before the end of the decade, a secondary threshold set by the Paris Agreement.

What are the projected regional variations in weather patterns based on the WMO's climate models?

The WMO's projection connects the predicted temperature increase to a higher probability of extreme weather events such as heatwaves, extreme rainfall, droughts, ice melt, warmer oceans, and rising sea levels. These impacts will negatively affect economies, daily life, ecosystems, and the planet, as stated by WMO Deputy Head Ko Barrett. The 1.5-degree Celsius warming limit, agreed upon in the 2015 Paris Agreement, is projected to be exceeded even temporarily.

Baltic Sea Fish Stocks Stagnant Despite Low Quotas

The Baltic Sea's cod and herring populations remain depleted despite years of low fishing quotas, indicating ecosystem changes rather than fishing pressure as the main cause; sprat stocks show positive development, while sole shows growth but poor condition.

What are the primary factors hindering the recovery of cod and herring populations in the Baltic Sea, and what are the immediate consequences for the fishing industry?

Despite historically low fishing quotas for years, stocks of cod and herring in the Baltic Sea have not recovered. Consequently, German fishermen will again face limited catches next year, according to the Association of German Trawlers and Coastal Fishermen, citing figures released Wednesday by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES). This highlights that fishing is no longer a factor in stock development.

What is the likelihood of the world experiencing another record-breaking hot year in the next five years, and what are the immediate implications?

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the UK Met Office predict a high likelihood (80%) of another record-breaking year within the next five years, with global temperatures exceeding the 1.5°C threshold set by the Paris Agreement. This increased global average temperature translates to a higher chance of extreme weather events, including more powerful hurricanes, heavier rainfall, and droughts, leading to increased mortality.
