EcoWatch - Asia is warming faster than the rest of the world, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The State of the Climate in Asia 2024 report, released Monday, shows the continent is heating up at twice the global average rate, leading to devastating impacts for ecosystems, societies and economies across the region.
“The State of the Climate in Asia report highlights the changes in key climate indicators such as surface temperature, glacier mass and sea level,” said WMO Secretary-General Celeste Saulo in a press release from WMO.
Last year, sea surface temperatures in the region were the highest ever recorded, with the sea surface decadal warming rate almost double the global average. A record amount of the ocean was also impacted by heatwaves
