EEA's latest annual environmental performance assessment shows lower impacts on environment due to the pandemic
27.5.2021|Okolje
The European Environment Agency’s (EEA) latest environmental performance data shows that the Agency’s work and operations in 2020 led to considerably lower impacts on the environment due mostly to restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
New climate predictions increase likelihood of temporarily reaching 1.5 °C in next 5 years
27.5.2021|Vreme
Geneva, 27 May 2021 (WMO) - There is about a 40% chance of the annual average global temperature temporarily reaching 1.5?C?above the pre-industrial level?in at least one of the next five years ? and these odds are increasing with time, according to a new climate update issued by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
There is a 90% likelihood of at least one year between 2021-2025 becoming the warmest on record, which would dislodge 2016 from the top ranking, according to the Global Annual to Decadal Climate Update, produced by the United Kingdom?s Met Office, the WMO lead...

NOAA predicts another above-normal hurricane season
21.5.2021|Vreme
Another above-normal Atlantic hurricane season is expected this year, even as many communities in the Caribbean, Central America and United States of America are still recovering from the record-breaking 2020 season, compounded by the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.
NOAA?s?Climate Prediction Center?forecast a 60% chance of an above-normal season, a 30% chance of a near-normal season, and a 10% chance of a below-normal season. However, experts do not anticipate the historic level of storm activity seen in 2020.?
For 2021, a likely range of 13 to 20 named storms (winds...
Arctic assessment report shows faster rate of warming
20.5.2021|Vreme
New observations show that the increase in Arctic average surface temperature between 1979 and 2019 was three times higher than the global average during this period ? higher than previously reported - according to the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme (AMAP).
Climate change impacts on Arctic communities, ecosystems and species, especially when associated with extreme events, are considerable and accelerating. Sea ice loss, glacier retreat and reduced snow cover remobilizes previously deposited contaminants. While climate change is mainly driven by carbon dioxide emissions,...
Energy pathway to net zero by 2050
18.5.2021|Vreme
The world has a viable pathway to building a global energy sector with net-zero emissions in 2050, but it is narrow and requires an unprecedented transformation of how energy is produced, transported and used globally, the International Energy Agency said in a new landmark special report.
Climate pledges by governments to date ? even if fully achieved ? would fall well short of what is required to bring global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to net zero by 2050 and give the world an even chance of limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5??C, according to the new...

WMO Aerosols Bulletin focuses on fires
10.5.2021|Vreme
A new World Meteorological Organization bulletin on Aerosols examines the impact of biomass burning (wildfires and open burning for agriculture) on climate and air quality. It covers the episodes of the 2019/2020 Australian bushfires, the 2015 Indonesia peatfires and smoke transport from boreal forest fires to the Arctic.
Worldwide fire activity evolves continually throughout the year and many regions of the world have relatively clearly defined fire seasons that do not vary significantly from one year to another. This is generally most apparent in tropical regions where fire conditions...
Global methane assessment released
7.5.2021|Vreme
A Global Methane Assessment released by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) shows that human-caused methane emissions can be reduced by up to 45 per cent this decade.
Such reductions would avoid nearly 0.3?C of global warming by 2045 and would be consistent with keeping the Paris Climate Agreement?s goal to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius (1.5?C) within reach.
The?assessment, for the first time, integrates the climate and air pollution costs and benefits from methane mitigation. Because methane is a key...
