00:002024 is set to be the hottest year on record.
00:03This isn't just another headline.
00:05This year could mark the first time we breach the 1.5 degree global warming limit.
00:10From unprecedented heatwaves in India to storms wreaking havoc worldwide,
00:15our climate is at a boiling point.
00:17Scientists are sounding the alarm loud and clear.
00:20They say we're at the edge of a climate cliff.
00:23Crossing this threshold has major consequences.
00:26Nearly 200 countries once pledged to limit warming to this level
00:30under the Paris Agreement, but that goal is slipping away.
00:35Each year that we break 1.5 degrees, Celsius brings us closer to irreversible damage,
00:41from extreme weather events to devastating impacts on ecosystems and communities.
00:46With COP 29 around the corner, the pressure is on world leaders to take bold action.
00:52Climate experts warn that stabilizing temperatures means hitting net-zero emissions.
00:57In simple terms, we need to cut greenhouse gases fast or face even worse disasters.
01:03It's not just another hot year.
01:05This is a wake-up call for leaders, for communities, for each of us.
01:10The question is, will we listen?
