The UN warns of a 70% chance that average global warming will exceed the critical threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius between 2025 and 2029, following record temperatures in 2023 and 2024. The World Meteorological Organization highlights the past decade as the hottest in recorded history, emphasizing that no respite is anticipated. Experts believe the 1.5-degree target, set in the 2015 Paris accords, is increasingly unattainable due to rising CO2 emissions. Predictions suggest that by the late 2020s or early 2030s, exceeding 1.5 degrees could become a certainty, posing severe repercussions for economies and ecosystems.
The chance of average warming from 2025 to 2029 exceeding the 1.5 degrees Celsius benchmark stands at 70%, indicating a future of unprecedented climatic conditions.
Past ten years are the warmest on record, and the WMO warns that there will be growing negative impacts on economies, ecosystems, and daily lives.
