The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) said 2025 had continued a three-year streak of “extraordinary global temperatures” during which surface air temperatures averaged 1.48C above pre-industrial levels.

Current rates of heating could breach the Paris agreement’s limit of 1.5C before the end of the decade, according to the EU’s Copernicus climate agency - 10 years sooner than scientists expected when world leaders signed the pledge in 2015.

“We are bound to pass it,” said Carlo Buontempo, the director of the Copernicus. “The choice we now have is how to best manage the inevitable overshoot and its consequences.”
