A boy enjoys a swim after school on a particular hot summer day on the Main Fountain of the Constitution Park, also known locally as Central Park, in Guatemala City, Guatemala. Climate change refers to long-term shifts in average weather patterns, primarily driven by human activities like burning fossil fuels. These changes include rising global temperatures, that lead to more frequent and intense heatwaves. The years 2023 and 2024 were the warmest years on record, with 2024 being the first year to exceed 1.5Â°C above pre-industrial levels. This warming trend is driven by increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, primarily from burning fossil fuels. The effects include increased heat-related deaths, productivity losses, and disruptions to ecosystems.
