work will continue within the framework of the national project culture; plans for this year include the commissioning of ten objects at once, including the polyarny cultural and leisure center. previously , an old cinema called polyarny, built in 1964, stood on this site, then a decision was made. about its demolition and construction of a new modern cultural and recreational center of the same name polar. the six-story building will become a new center of attraction for residents of the area. this will be a place accessible to everyone, where a large event is planned. number of events of various formats. the building area will be about 8,900 km2, with various functions, that is, we will have them here. theater clubs, choreography

studios, recording studios, administrative offices, modeling and engineering studios, exhibition areas, auditoriums and media rooms for watching films, waiting areas and comfortable cafes for spending time with the whole family, modern schools, kindergartens, hospitals, sports and cultural centers not only... change the appearance of the city when standard buildings are becoming a thing of the past, but they are also making life comfortable for millions of muscovites, because new social facilities are not only a beautiful external picture, but modern high-tech equipment and high standards of service to the population. these ukrainian gangs are hitting the city, we were waiting for russia, we were under heavy fire.

how do climate problems threaten the world? watch this now.

yes, the weather on earth is so changeable. actually, we all know this; there is probably no more popular topic for conversations in all corners of the earth, like about the weather. we talk, remember, think about the weather almost every day. at the same time , the climate on the planet is changing year by year. it's

getting hotter. science has been studying weather for 175 years. and it must be said that the past 2020 was recognized as the hottest year in history. well, i explain this by the fact that the amount of greenhouse gases, products of combustion of hydrocarbon raw materials, has sharply increased. and this is seen as the main reason for the increasing warming on the planet. they also talk about such a natural phenomenon as elminho, it is so ox-shaped warming of the pacific waters in the northern hemisphere, and this phenomenon greatly affects the weather on the planet, meteorologists predict that the current year 24 will be even hotter, they are looking into the year 25, and it is predicted to be even hotter than the current one today.. .march 23, the world

celebrates world meteorology day, the power form program is today in abu dhabi, at the headquarters. world meteorological organization and we are received by the president of the world meteorological organization, who is also the director of the national center of meteorology of the united arab emirates, abdullah al-mandus. your excellency, mr. president, first of all, thank you for your time. i'll start with congratulations on the holiday of ramadan. thank you very much, sir. guzman, yes, it is ramadan and i would like to wish the whole world good health and safety from any extreme weather conditions. i would like to start with a historical question. your

organization, the world meteorological organization, was founded in 1951. but before that. she was international meteorological organization since 1873, it has such a long history, when i think about the world meteorological organization, i think about unity. i think we are one of the organizations that works all over the world for unity. for us, the unity is that everyone sends information to wmo, we collect the data and then pass it back. to national weather services, this means we are on a safe path to protect everyone from extreme weather, and other dangers. in august 1872, 52

meteorologists gathered in leipzig to discuss the possibility of forming a mechanism for international... cooperation in the field of meteorology. a year later, in vienna, as a result of the leipzig meeting, the first international meteorological congress was organized. its important result was the creation in 1873 of a permanent committee on meteorology. a dutch scientist, professor beis ballat, was elected president of the committee. in 1879, at a congress held in time, the international.

that's right, it was the first conference to show people the climate on the globe and the parameters that influence climate, then we moved on to create an intergovernmental panel on climate change, which is a division of wmo. they prepare reports based on wmo data.

we receive data from 1,200 drifting buoys, from which we receive all marine information. 3,000 aircraft from which we receive data every hour. we also receive data from 348

satellites, 26 of which are stationary. we have 1.11 weather radars. 52 world data center and 28 wmo regional training centres, as well as six tropical storm centers. all this data is shared with us and we work together to save the planet from any weather hazards. all wmo members work together as a team, because weather has no boundaries, and what happens in one place certainly affects another. wmo staff, in their weather observations, are guided by global standards and... developed, ensure the installation and promotion of these uniform standards. today is very important

understand current climate changes, there are a huge number of them. as you know, russia has been a very active member of wmo for many years. what do you think about russia's role, for example, in the exchange of information ? yes, i believe that russia's participation is one of the most important parts of the work of the world meteorological organization. we have constant data that we receive from russia. they have the largest observation network, radar network, satellites. they have many regional and global centers. thus, participation.

century, since 1995, an international conference on climate change has been held annually under the auspices of the united nations. in the fall of 2023. the twenty-eighth world climate summit took place in the united arab emirates, it was called cop-28. at this climate summit, scientists issued a warning: an increase in the overall temperature of the earth by 1.5-2° above industrial levels risks the destruction of entire ecosystems and crops. and... even before 2030, among them

the destruction of large ice sheets in greenland and west antarctica, the vast melting of the eternal world of zloty, the death of mangroves and coral reefs in warm waters, there is a risk of the so-called domino effect, for example, the destruction of glaciers in greenland can slow down the circulation of the atlantic... in as a result of this phenomenon, the equatorial pacific ocean will become warmer than usual, which will affect the climate throughout the earth. what are the most important achievements of this conference? what were her main, main decisions? basic decisions related to care. fossil fuels, compensation funds, as well as

a declaration on climate and health, and, of course, recognition of the importance of natural, green solutions. what is wmo's involvement in this? we plan to find funds for the early warning for all initiative. and i think this will also be reflected in the work. cop-29. un secretary-general antonio gutierres addressed the climate summit participants with an emotional message. in 2023 , we have seen the world the population was hit by fires, floods and scorching heat. record global heat should make world leaders wince. in 2023. your organization has decided to develop a new strategic plan for the next 5 years. what are your thoughts on

this plan? could you tell us more about what this plan includes? the plan is that we will work from 2024 to 2027 under the initiative of the un secretary general, with early warning for everyone. every person on earth has. there will be a wmo mandate, then dissemination and then comes the work of forecasting, this is communication, this will be the mandate of the international telecommunication union. last year

, heat waves affected many regions of the world, with southern europe and northern africa being particularly hot. there in the second half of july there was exceptionally persistent heat, the temperature in italy reached 48°, in tunisia, morocco and algeria the thermometer exceeded 50°. we work a lot with other related organizations to study the impact of air temperature on humans.

water shortage, this is a very dangerous future, therefore, we are considering all possibilities to find alternative sources of water, one of them is cloud seeding, this is a very important project, and the government of the united arab emirates is investing heavily in it to help humanity find other sources of water. wmo is involved in water resource management, water resources are very important in agriculture, for food production, energy, for industry, and of course, all of us, people, cannot do without clean drinking water. at wmo we are increasing

investments in hydrometeorological observation systems. flood damage alone amounts to more than $80 billion annually. the president of mozambique, philippa nyusi, in our conversation complained that frequent flooding and hurricanes had set back his country's economy for years. in 2023, global average sea level reached the highest level in the entire 30-year period of satellite observations, indicating continued ocean warming as well as the melting of glaciers and ice sheets.

mediterranean cyclone daniel with its endless downpours, caused floods in greece, bulgaria, turkey, and reached libya in september, where the consequences became especially destructive. due to the dam breaking , entire neighborhoods of the city of derno were submerged in water. 20 thousand people died, 10,000 disappeared . tropical cyclone freddy raged in february and march and became one of the longest- lasting tropical cyclones in the world. madagascar, mozambique and malawia were severely affected by it. meteorological scientists believe that warming air and water is leading to deadly and destructive heat waves, floods, droughts, storms.

but also one of the most famous specialists in this field. you have over thirty years of experience in this profession. tell us about yourself, why you chose this profession, this area of ​​knowledge. i think that my interest in science had an impact. knowledge of mathematics and physics led me to switch to meteorology, because it has a lot of physics and dynamics. but the important question is how meteorology has affected me, how it has changed my life, since i started working in this field i have become

an international person, now, if we have some problem in one of the countries of the world, i am in my post, i perceive it as if it were a problem of my country, i have become an international person and consider... i think that this will be impressive celsius. a continuation of cop-28, because the issues raised there are very important. we will continue

to work together to achieve the paris agreement to limit the rise in global temperatures to one and a half degrees . as a world meteorological organization, we will continue to work together, hard above early warning for everyone.

can i ask you during ramadan, a very direct question, as a professional, a professor, an international specialist, as the president of wmo, reading the dangerous reports of your organization, do you personally look more into the future as a pessimist or an optimist? yes, we need to look for the best for people, i think that people have power, and united, they can solve

any problem. the world to prepare for inevitable climate change, how to make its consequences less dangerous for people, and finally, how learn to interact better and better with nature.

fyodor mikhailovich dostoevsky, it was as if he foresaw that in the 21st century a layer of people would appear who are called foreign agents and whom he described in the person of his hero, pavel smerdyakov. friday is the foreign agent's birthday.
