The Copernicus Climate Change Service forecasts that 2024 is effectively certain to be the hottest year on record, exceeding the critical climate threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The average global temperatures have reached unprecedented levels this year, with predictions indicating that 2024 will not only be the warmest year, but also the first to surpass the 1.5C benchmark that is critical for climate safety.
With the planet at its warmest in 125,000 years, scientists emphasize that failing to contain warming to below 1.5C for an extended period poses severe risks to global ecosystems.
Under the Paris climate accord, the international community pledged to limit warming to a safer 1.5C threshold, yet current trends show that we are far from this goal.
