___________ <\/strong><\/span>
Climate change is accelerating, driving more extreme weather, food insecurity, displacement, and destruction worldwide. 2024 was the hottest year on record, at approximately 1.55\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels. While a single year above 1.5\u00b0C does not mean the Paris Agreement has been breached, it is a stark warning that this is the decisive decade for climate action.<\/span>
This year marks a pivotal moment for climate action \u2014 ten years since the <\/span>Paris Agreement. 2025 is<\/span><\/a> the year for countries to submit updated national climate plans with 2035 targets. At the UN Climate Summit in September, nearly 100 nations pledged new targets, with major economies such as China and Nigeria unveiling economy-wide emissions targets for the first time. From expanding renewables and protecting forests to phasing out fossil fuels, the solutions are clear. As COP30 convenes in Bel\u00e9m, Brazil this month, countries must come together to turn ambition into action.<\/span>

National climate action plans<\/b>
As the climate crisis intensifies, the stakes could not be higher. This year, every country is required to submit an updated national climate action plan \u2013 called Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement. To preserve a livable plant, these plans must align with limiting global warming to 1.5\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels. The UN has come together to drive communication and advocacy efforts on the NDCs. Learn more about the NDCs here: <\/span>https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/climatechange\/all-about-ndcs<\/span><\/a>
