Abstract
In 2021, both social and economic activities began to return towards the levels preceding
the COVID-19 pandemic for some parts of the globe, with others still experiencing restrictions.
Meanwhile, the climate has continued to respond to the ongoing increase in greenhouse gases
and resulting warming. La Niña, a phenomenon which tends to depress global temperatures
while changing rainfall patterns in many regions, prevailed for all but two months of the year.
Despite this, 2021 was one of the six-warmest years on record as measured by global mean surface
temperature with an anomaly of between +0.21° and +0.28°C above the 1991–2020 climatology.
