Last decade was Earth’s hottest ever as CO2 levels reach an 800,000-year high, says UN report
- In 2024, the World Meteorological Organization reported that climate change reached unprecedented levels, with the year being the warmest on record and 1.55°C above pre-industrial temperatures, which poses serious long-term risks to the planet and humanity.
- The report indicated that each of the past eight years has set new records for ocean heat, with atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations at their highest in 800,000 years.
- Extreme weather events in 2024, including hurricanes and flooding, caused the highest number of new displacements recorded in 16 years and exacerbated global food crises and economic losses.
- The WMO Secretary-General emphasized that while one year above 1.5°C does not eliminate the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement, it serves as a wake-up call regarding the risks to lives, economies, and the planet.

Industrial-level CO2 to formate conversion on Turing-structured electrocatalysts
Industrializing the electrosynthesis of formate from CO2 reduction in membrane electrode assembly (MEA) electrolysers necessitates tuning both electrocatalysts and the interfacial water microenvironment. Here we cast a series of Turing-structured topology electrocatalysts, which can control the reorientation of interfacial water through the tuning of surface oxophilicity, for industrial-level conversion of CO2 to formate. Experimental and theore…
Past 10 years also the hottest 10 since record-keeping began: UN weather agency
The latest WMO report revealed that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have reached their highest point in 800,000 years. On a global scale, each of the last ten years ranks among the ten hottest on record
