Global Warming Surge: A Decade After the Paris Agreement
New climate data reveal accelerated global warming since the Paris Agreement, with 2025 among the hottest years ever. Despite increased use of renewables, fossil fuel emissions hit record highs. Sea levels and ocean heat reach alarming levels, raising urgent calls for stronger climate action.
A decade after the Paris Agreement, newly released climate data show that global warming is accelerating at an alarming rate. The year 2025 is projected to be among the three hottest years ever recorded, with significant thresholds crossed in sea-ice, ocean heat, and sea levels.
Efforts to limit the climate impact of fossil fuels have been insufficient, threatening worldwide climate goals. According to leading scientific agencies, global warming has notably increased since the mid-2010s, with emissions reaching a worrying gap.
The World Meteorological Organization reports record highs in carbon emissions, driven by rising coal, oil, and gas usage. The Global Carbon Budget estimates a 1.1% increase in emissions next year. To cap warming at 1.5°C, scientists warn of limited capacity for additional CO₂ emissions.
