A recent report from the organization states that the year 2025 was among the three warmest years, ranking second or third depending on the methodology used. According to Reuters, the average global temperature this year was approximately 1.43 degrees Celsius higher than pre-industrial levels. Experts noted that 2024 was even more extreme, with a temperature increase of 1.55 degrees, confirming the ongoing warming trend.
Scientists express particular concern about the state of glaciers. The report emphasizes that the loss of ice mass in key regions of the planet has entered the top five most serious cases in the history of observations. Record levels of melting have been recorded in Iceland and North America.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres, commenting on the study's findings, noted that the global climate has reached a state of emergency. He emphasized that "the planet Earth is under maximum strain, and all key climate indicators are at critical levels."
According to the Paris Agreement of 2015, participating countries committed to taking all possible measures to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
