The Global Environmental Data Strategy (GEDS) is in the spotlight as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) works to finalize it by December 2025. This strategy aims to address the triple planetary crises of climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss by leveraging high-quality, accessible environmental data for informed decision-making and innovative solutions. What is GEDS Strategy? The Global Environmental Data Strategy (GEDS) is a comprehensive framework developed by UNEP to enhance the use of environmental data. It focuses on overcoming barriers like data fragmentation, lack of interoperability, and limited access to support global efforts in tackling environmental crises. The strategy is built on five key pillars: data quality, governance, interoperability, access, and capacity-building. Key Pillars of GEDS Data Quality and Provenance: Establishes frameworks and standards to ensure accurate classification and quality of environmental data. Data Governance: Promote...

'Sounding the alarm': World likely to temporarily pass 1.5C limit by 2028, UN weather agency warns

  t's also likely that at least one of the next five years will set a new temperature record, the World Meteorological Organization has said. There is an 80 per cent chance that average global temperatures will surpass the 1.5C target laid out in the landmark Paris climate accord for at least one of the next five years, according to World Meteorological Organization (WMO) predictions. It is also likely - an 86 per cent chance - that at least one of these years will set a new temperature record, beating 2023 which is currently the warmest year. A new report from the UN weather agency released on Wednesday says that the global mean near-surface temperature for each year from 2024 to 2028 is expected to range between 1.1C and 1.9C hotter than at the start of the industrial era. It also estimated that there’s nearly a one-in-two chance 47 per cent that the average global temperatures over that entire five-year span could top 1.5C. This is an increase from just under a one-in-three chan...
