Climate Change

The combination of a potential Super El Niño and ongoing climate change is likely to lead to unprecedented global temperatures, posing immediate threats to ecosystems and human health. The systematic decline in Arctic sea ice and the alarming proximity of a key Atlantic ocean current to collapse highlight significant long-term planetary risks. These environmental changes are compounded by policy challenges, such as the need for urgent action to protect Indigenous rights and adapt to shifting biodiversity and extended allergy seasons. The global response remains inadequate, with insufficient adaptation and resilience planning, as evidenced by the continued rise in extreme weather events and their impacts on human health and safety.
