Climate change continued its relentless march in 2020, which is on track to be one of the three warmest years on record. Read the @WMO press release > https://bit.ly/2JrXQtP  and see what this means for global sea level rise in this @NASAClimate video #ClimateDialogues

Watch @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres
reacting to the @WMO #StateofClimate report at 8:45AM ET/ 14:45 CET today CET http://webtv.un.org 

. @antonioguterres: "The science is crystal clear: to limit temperature rise to 1.5-degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the world needs to decrease fossil fuel production by roughly 6 per cent every year between now and 2030."

Read the new @UNEP report to which @antonioguterres refers to: https://bit.ly/2Vr4XF9  Countries plan to increase their fossil fuel production over the next decade, even as research shows that the world needs to decrease production by 6% per year to limit global warming to 1.5°C

See this good explainer by @UNEP of the " #productiongap", i.e. the gap between plans of governments to increase the production of fossil fuels and the scientifically-based requirement to decrease production - essential to achieve the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement.
