Human-Induced Global Warming Reaches 1.37°C, Paris Accord Limit May Be Exceeded Soon
Human activities pushed global warming to 1.37 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels in 2025, making it the third warmest year on record. The Indicators of Global Climate Change (IGCC) report warns that the 1.5-degree Celsius threshold set by the Paris Agreement could be exceeded within about four years due to record greenhouse gas emissions and accelerating heat accumulation. While carbon dioxide emission growth shows signs of slowing, experts emphasize the urgent need for increased decarbonisation efforts this decade to mitigate further warming.
