State of the Climate in 2019

 

This is the 30th issuance of the annual assessment now known as State of the Climate, published in the Bulletin since 1996. As a supplement to the Bulletin, its foremost function is to document the status and trajectory of many components of the climate system. 

However, as a series, the report also documents the status and trajectory of our capacity and commitment to observe the climate system.

Climate risks & COVID-19 pandemic

Nature Climate Change May 15, 2020:

“The COVID-19 pandemic will be an unprecedented test of governments’ ability to manage compound risks, as climate hazards disrupt outbreak response around the world. 

“Immediate steps can be taken to minimize climate-attributable loss of life, but climate adaptation also needs a long-term strategy for pandemic preparedness.“
