2023 was hottest year on record as Earth nears critical 1.5C threshold

2023 was the hottest year on record, with temperatures approaching the critical threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Climate change intensified heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires across the planet, causing temperatures in 2023 to likely exceed those of any period in at least the last 100,000 years.

Climate scientists declare 2023 hottest year on record as 1.5C temperature threshold breached every second day

2023 declared world's hottest year on record
Breaches of 1.5C threshold occurred on almost 50% of days

2023 was officially the hottest year on RECORD

2023 was the hottest year on record globally.
The average global temperature in 2023 was 1.8°F (1°C) above the 'pre-industrial' average.

Visualised: how all of G20 is missing climate goals but some nations are closer than others

Not a single G20 country has policies consistent with the Paris agreement's goal of limiting global heating to 1.5C and meeting emissions reduction targets.
Eight G20 countries, including Argentina, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Turkey, Canada, Mexico, and Indonesia, are rated as critically insufficient in their climate policies.

Greenpeace: Manufacturers not doing enough to cut emissions

Major electronics companies are not doing enough to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, according to Greenpeace.

Earth likely briefly passed critical warming threshold on Friday

Friday was the first day on record to have a global average surface temperature above 2°C compared to preindustrial levels.
Breaching the 2-degree threshold for a single day does not mean that the Paris Agreement's target of holding global warming to 'well below' such a mark has been exceeded.
