States have a legal obligation to take measures to protect the environment from climate change, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The court emphasized that it is the duty of states to act conscientiously and in mutual cooperation, in order to fulfill their obligations under international law, especially from the Paris Agreement, which foresees limiting global warming to a maximum of 1,5°C compared to pre-industrial levels.
Despite the increasingly pronounced consequences of climate change, which also affect Serbia, climate literacy among citizens, as well as institutions, is insufficiently developed. How to change it?

If greenhouse gas emissions are not significantly reduced in the coming years, the world faces a catastrophic warming of three degrees Celsius. The latest UN report points out that current efforts, despite the technological solutions available, are not enough to stop the climate crisis
Antarctica, once a kingdom of ice and snow, is facing a new phenomenon - the rapid expansion of vegetation due to climate change. Scientists predict that greening could cause additional environmental problems
Millions of people die as a result of extreme heat. Not only in underdeveloped countries in the southern hemisphere, but also in Europe
A heat record was recorded on planet Earth on Sunday, according to data from the European Climate Agency Copernicus. Don't worry, the heat records will continue to fall. We are in unfamiliar territory, experts warn

Olga Andrić points to the problem of "ecomanipulation" (greenwashing), where powerful green solutions are used exclusively for marketing purposes in order to increase the value of real estate. He says that there is a whole series of projects whose names suggest a healthy life in a green environment, while in reality they barely meet the minimum criteria.

"During the next year, we can expect various climatic extremes across the planet, as we had the opportunity to see this year as well," climatologist Vladimir Đurđević told Vreme.
Instead of decreasing, the emission of harmful gases from fossil fuels is increasing in the world. This year, about 36,8 billion tons of carbon dioxide will go into the atmosphere
The area by which the Mendehall Glacier has shrunk since 2007 corresponds to the size of eight American football fields
In July 2023, multiple global temperature records were broken, reports the European Copernicus service

Cloudiness is also expected in Serbia tomorrow, which may be accompanied by heavy showers and thunderstorms accompanied by stormy winds.
In the world, and in Serbia, climate changes can currently be predicted in the next 30 to 50 years. If responsible decisions are made at the level of the entire planet, we can expect the mildest scenario. On the contrary, heat waves lasting up to 130 days are predicted
James Hansen, who testified in Congress about global warming in 1988, says the world is approaching a "new climate frontier."
Record high temperatures are expected in Serbia since the beginning of summer, and another heat wave is expected this week for most of Europe. Citizens are advised not to go outside unless absolutely necessary
