The year twenty twenty-four marked the hottest on record, with unprecedented heatwaves, catastrophic floods, devastating cyclones, and widespread droughts leaving no region untouched. Experts from World Weather Attribution confirmed that nearly every major disaster this year was amplified by climate change.

Deadly heatwaves claimed lives in Saudi Arabia, Thailand, and India, while extreme flooding in the United Arab Emirates, Kenya, and Spain displaced millions. Cyclones Milton, Beryl, and Yagi caused destruction across Southeast Asia and the United States, while prolonged droughts intensified wildfires in South America and Africa, placing millions at risk of hunger.

The economic toll reached an estimated three hundred and ten billion United States dollars globally, with significant losses in agriculture, infrastructure, and tourism. As disasters grow more severe and frequent, experts stress the urgent need for global cooperation and robust climate resilience measures to address the escalating impacts of a warming planet.
