China News Agency, Berlin, July 10 (Reporter Peng Dawei) The latest climate forecast report released by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on the 9th local time points out that in the next five years (2020-2024), the annual global average temperature will be It may be at least 1 degree Celsius higher than the pre-industrial level (1850-1900), and the probability of being 1.5°C higher than at least one year is 20%. The WMO Secretary-General warned that this study shows that the climate control goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change are facing enormous challenges.

  The World Meteorological Organization, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, is the authority of the United Nations system on weather, climate and water. The "Global One-Year to Ten-Year Climate Update" report released that day was led by the British Meteorological Office and updated annually, which provided a climate outlook for the next five years.

On June 27th, local time, in Muzeon Park in Moscow, people played in the fountain to cool down. Recently, Moscow has encountered high temperatures. It is reported that the highest temperature in Russia Siberia this year has reached 38 degrees Celsius, a record high since meteorological observation records.

  The World Meteorological Organization pointed out that the average temperature of the earth has been higher than the pre-industrial period by more than 1 °C. The past five years have been the hottest five years on record. The above forecast takes into account natural changes and human impacts on the climate in order to provide the best predictions for temperature, precipitation, wind pattern and other variables in the next five years. This prediction model does not include changes in greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions caused by the closure of the city under the new crown epidemic.

  WMO Secretary-General Petrie Tallas said on the same day that the study showed that the Paris Agreement to achieve climate change "controls the global temperature rise this century to be far below the pre-industrial level of 2 degrees Celsius, and strives to further limit the temperature rise The goal of "within 1.5 degrees Celsius" faces huge challenges.

  "WMO has repeatedly emphasized that the industrial and economic slowdown caused by the new crown epidemic cannot replace continuous and coordinated climate action. Because carbon dioxide has a very long life in the atmosphere, the impact of this year's declining emissions is not expected to result in atmospheric greenhouse gases The decrease in carbon dioxide concentration." Talas said.

  He emphasized that the new crown epidemic has caused a serious international health and economic crisis. At the same time, if it cannot successfully cope with climate change, it may threaten the well-being, ecosystem and economy of humanity in the coming centuries. "Governments should take advantage of this opportunity , Integrate climate action into the recovery plan and ensure that our recovery is stronger." (Finish)
