WMO report: Hottest decade on record; nuclear energy seen as vital to fight climate change.

The WMO State of the Climate 2024 report warns of the hottest decade on record, with rising greenhouse gas levels and global emissions. Despite significant investments in renewables, their limitations, such as intermittency, mean they cannot solve the climate crisis alone. Nuclear energy, offering consistent, low-carbon power, is increasingly seen as a necessary part of the energy mix. Technological advances like small modular reactors address past concerns, and governments must support nuclear through regulations and incentives to diversify energy sources and combat climate change effectively.
