The time has come to recognise that we are living in the midst of a climate crisis. According to the World Meteorological Organisation, the last seven years have been the warmest on record. In 2021 alone—a year when the average global temperature reached more than 1 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels—record-breaking extreme weather events linked to climate change occurred around the world. Assuming the form of severe flooding, heat waves and droughts, such episodes resulted in thousands of deaths.
