🚨 2024: The Hottest Year on Record Earlier this year, Copernicus ECMWF confirmed that 2024 was the warmest year ever recorded and the first time global average temperatures stayed above 1.5°C for an entire year. Now, the World Meteorological Organization has reinforced that finding, confirming that 2024 officially broke the previous record set in 2023. This is a stark reminder that urgent #ClimateAction is needed, both in Europe and worldwide. 🌊 #ElNiño played a role, but the long-term trend is clear. Our planet is warming because of human-driven #greenhouse gas #emissions. Governments and industries must step up, but we all have a part to play. WE can ALL try to make individual changes, reducing our footprint as much as we can. As we prepare for #TheOceanRaceEurope, a race that connects countries and communities across the continent, this is a moment to reflect on how we can work together for a more #sustainable future. The Race isn't just about competition on the water, but about #ConnectingEurope in the fight for our planet. 💚 NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, Met Office, European Union, Berkeley Earth and Japan Meteorological Agency #TheOceanRace #RacingForTheOcean

Whales play a bigger role in our climate than you might think. 🐋 It’s #WorldWhaleDay, and here’s a fact worth knowing: It’s estimated that every large whale sequesters 33 tons of carbon over its lifetime - about the same as thousands of trees! 🌳 By storing carbon and supporting marine ecosystems, these ocean giants help keep our planet in balance. 🌊💙   #TheOceanRace #ClimateAction #OceanHealth #RacingForTheOcean

Beneath us, the ocean is alive. Storms roll in, waves carve their patterns, and #wildlife moves with the rhythm of the #sea. We race across the surface, but what happens below is just, if not more, powerful. The #ocean has shaped this planet for millions of years. It’s balance is not just vital for us, but to everything that calls it home. Protecting it is a responsibility we all share - one that reaches far beyond today. 🌊💙 📸 Brian Carlin | Ainhoa Sánchez Vidales | Matt Knighton | Amory Ross | Corinna Halloran #TheOceanRace #RacingForTheOcean #sailing
