The evidence is overwhelming:
• The Earth’s average temperature has increased by 1.1°C since the pre-industrial era.
• Sea level has risen by 20 cm since 1880.
• Extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, floods and hurricanes, are more frequent and more intense.
We must act now to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
