 "This year's Uniting in Science report shows that climate impacts are entering uncharted territory. Yet even as the signs are rapidly worsening, our inexorable reliance on fossil fuels is doubling every year," he said.

  

 National warning

 "More than ever, we need to scale up action on early warning systems and build the resilience of vulnerable communities to current and future climate risks," said WMO Secretary-General Taalas. To this end, the WMO is leading a project activities to ensure that "early warning for all" is achieved within the next five years.
