Geneva: Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere reached new record highs in 2023, locking in future temperature increases for years to come, the United Nations warned on Monday.
Levels of the three main greenhouse gases -- the climate-warming carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide -- all increased yet again last year, the UN's weather and climate agency said.
The World Meteorological Organization said carbon dioxide was accumulating in the atmosphere faster than ever, up more than 10 percent in two decades.
The WMO's annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin comes ahead of the November 11-22 COP29 UN climate summit in Baku.
"Another year. Another record. This should set alarm bells ringing among decision-makers," WMO chief Celeste Saulo said in a statement.
