The climate report by the World Meteorological Organization (2025-2029) predicts that temperature Our planet is expected to reach record levels over the next five years, increasing climate risks and the impact on societies, economies and sustainable development.
The report provides that the annual average of the world average temperature near the surface of the planet for each year between 2025 and 2029 is projected to be between 1.2 ° C and 1.9 ° C higher than the average of 1850-1900.
There is an 80% chance of at least one year between 2025 and 2029 being hotter than the hottest year recorded (currently in 2024). And there is an 86% chance of at least one year being over 1.5 ° C above the pre -industrial level. The report does not give global forecasts for individual years.
According to the report, there is a prediction of 70% probability that the average five-year increase in temperature for the period 2025-2029 will be greater than 1.5 ° C. This is higher than 47% in last year’s report (for the period 2024-2028) and higher than 32% in the 2023 report for the period 2023-2027.
Any additional fraction of the degree of temperature rise leads to more harmful heat, extreme rainfall, severe droughts, melting of ice, sea ice and glaciers, ocean heating and rising sea levels.
