According to the published report, the year 2025 was among the three warmest years, ranking second or third depending on the methodology used, as reported by Reuters.
The average temperature on the planet in 2025 was approximately 1.43 degrees Celsius higher than pre-industrial levels. Experts noted that 2024 was even more extreme, recording an increase of 1.55 degrees, highlighting the ongoing trend of global warming.
Scientists are particularly concerned about the state of glaciers, as the report mentions that the loss of ice mass in key regions of the planet ranked among the five worst results in the history of observations. The highest levels of melting were recorded in Iceland and North America.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres, commenting on the report's findings, declared that the global climate situation has reached a state of emergency. "Our planet is under maximum stress, and all key climate indicators are in critical condition," he noted.
According to the Paris Agreement signed in 2015, countries committed to take all possible measures to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
