President Jim Yong Kim urges more aggressive global action to tackle climate change. A new scientific report, 'Turn Down the Heat', warns that the world is barreling down a path to heat up by 4 degrees at the end of the century if the global community fails to act.

This inaction would trigger a cascade of cataclysmic changes. These include extreme heatwaves, declining global food stocks, and a sea-level rise affecting hundreds of millions of people. The report underscores the critical need for immediate intervention to avert these devastating outcomes.
