Los rápidos avances tecnológicos de hoy en día, como la inteligencia artificial, prometen ayudar al alumnado de todas las edades a lo largo de su aprendizaje. No obstante, los tremendos beneficios vienen acompañados de riesgos enormes.

The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) is at the heart of the renewables revolution. And that revolution is in full swing. Roll out is accelerating. Prices keep falling. The clean energy age is coming. And the benefits for energy sovereignty, security and affordability are crystal clear. But we must move faster:To bring the great benefits of clean power to all;And to limit the rise in global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius. That requires urgent action in three areas.

Today’s assessment from the World Meteorological Organization is clear: Global heating is a cold, hard fact. We have just endured the hottest decade on record — with 2024 topping the list, and likely to be the first calendar year with a global mean temperature of more than 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.  Individual years pushing past the 1.5-degree limit do not mean the long-term goal is shot. It means we need to fight even harder to get on track.

Throughout 2024, hope has been hard to find. Wars are causing enormous pain, suffering and displacement. Inequalities and divisions are rife — fueling tensions and mistrust. And today I can officially report that we have just endured a decade of deadly heat. The top 10 hottest years on record have happened in the last 10 years, including 2024. This is climate breakdown — in real time. We must exit this road to ruin — and we have no time to lose.

On Human Rights Day, we face a harsh truth. Human rights are under assault. Tens of millions of people are mired in poverty, hunger, poor health and education systems that have not yet fully recovered from the Covid-19 pandemic. Global inequalities are running rampant. Conflicts are intensifying. International law is willfully ignored. Authoritarianism is on the march while civic space is shrinking. Hateful rhetoric is fueling discrimination, division and outright violence.
