2024 Set to Be First Year Exceeding 1.5°C Global Warming Threshold
Driven by greenhouse gases and a strong El Niño, 2024 is on track to surpass previous records for global temperature increases.
- This year has consistently broken temperature records, with seven of the first nine months setting new highs.
- Global warming has reached approximately 1.3°C above pre-industrial levels, with projections indicating 2024 will surpass 1.5°C.
- The persistent rise in temperatures is attributed to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, amplified by natural climate variations like El Niño.
- The United Nations reports a significant funding gap for climate adaptation, with current spending far below the necessary levels to mitigate climate impacts.
- Upcoming COP29 talks in Azerbaijan will focus on mobilizing funds for clean energy transitions to prevent further warming.
