COP28: GEAPP Presents TETD Communique For An Actionable Roadmap Towards Energy Transition

El Nino warms surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, bringing worldwide changes in winds, pressure and rainfall patterns.

Published by the British medical journal ahead of the COP 31 climate summit in November, the 10th edition of the report brought together 146 researchers from 30 countries to assess the impact of climate change on the health of the world's population.

Piyush Goyal called out developed nations for historically contributing the lion's share of global carbon emissions while reneging on their pledged financial and technological support to developing and vulnerable nations under the Paris Agreement.

Om Birla said terrorism remained a serious global challenge and expressed hope that the issue would receive particular attention during the forum.

Across the continent, vital infrastructure suffered. Wildfires destroyed homes, hospitals overheated, transport broke down and cooling systems in fridges and air conditioners failed.

Even if countries deliver their latest climate pledges in full, global temperatures could still rise 2.6C above pre-industrial levels by 2100, said the annual Emissions Gap Report.

Nuclear war and the misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) could put the future of humanity at risk, a new report stated.

The findings come as Antarctica continues to lose ice amid changing environmental conditions.

From changing ocean currents to extreme weather, scientists are watching a combination of climate signals that could influence temperatures, rainfall and ecosystems in the months ahead.

The researchers suggest that the "alarming declines" should lead to chinstrap penguins being redesignated as "endangered" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

For October-November-December, the anomaly is forecast to reach approximately 3.7 degrees Celsius above normal due to El Nino.

El Nino warms surface temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, bringing worldwide changes in winds, pressure and rainfall patterns.

Ocean currents and global weather systems are deeply interconnected. Scientists warn that a weakening AMOC directly impacts the Indian Summer Monsoon.

The Great Indian Bustard itself represents a stark reminder of what is at stake. Once widespread across India's grasslands and deserts, the species now survives in fragmented and highly vulnerable populations.

Seven of Earth's nine planetary boundaries have now been breached, with scientists warning that growing pressure on climate, biodiversity, freshwater and other natural systems is increasing the risk of irreversible environmental changes.

The accelerated glacier melt could have ripples across the continent because Switzerland, the water tower of Europe, feeds some of its most important rivers - the Danube, Po, Rhine and Rhone.

In a new analysis covering the first eight months of 2026, the European Union's Copernicus Climate Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) highlighted the close relationship between climate change and air pollution.

"Where are the United Nations?" Alexandra Hill Tinoco, the foreign minister of El Salvador, asked Monday. "Do we have an organisation that is still relevant?"

Dr DP Dobhal, former senior scientist at the Wadia Institute of Himalayan Geology, told NDTV that Himalayan glaciers receive snow during both the monsoon and winter seasons.

United Nations experts have predicted an exceptionally strong cycle of the El Nino climate phenomenon, which causes global changes in winds and rainfall.
