flag Global temperatures hit 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels in 2024, a first for the Paris Agreement’s 10th year.

flag Global temperatures in 2024 exceeded 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time, marking a critical milestone as the Paris Agreement enters its 10th year. flag Despite progress in renewable energy, electric vehicles, and net-zero pledges, emissions continue to rise, and current efforts fall far short of limiting warming to 1.5°C. flag While nearly all nations have committed to climate action, the agreement’s voluntary nature and lack of enforcement mean national plans are insufficient, with global warming projected to reach around 2.5°C. flag Decoupling of emissions from economic growth is increasing, and clean energy is now the most cost-effective option, but fossil fuel use remains widespread and climate finance lags. flag Experts warn urgent, scaled-up action is needed to avoid irreversible climate impacts.
