2025 set to be among hottest years on record, UN scientists warn
UN scientists warn 2025 temperatures average 1.42C above pre-industrial levels, challenging the feasibility of meeting Paris Agreement goals, amid COP30 climate talks.
- This year will likely be the second or third warmest ever on record globally, UN scientists warned as COP30 opens in Belem, Amazonian city in Brazil.
- The WMO's annual State of the Climate reports found the past 11 years are each among the top 11 warmest, with the last three years the warmest in 176 years of records.
- Under this heat the United Kingdom had its hottest summer, two million people in Pakistan were evacuated amid deadly floods, and parts of the Amazon rainforest are so dry wildfires spread easily.
- The WMO warned the Paris Agreement goal is `virtually impossible` to meet without overshoot, while Celeste Saulo, WMO chief, said it remains `still entirely possible and essential` to reduce temperatures and that leaders attending COP30 in Belem will define the summit's success.
