This year will be the first to breach 1.5C of warming, a threshold set out in the landmark Paris Agreement, the EU's Copernicus Climate Change Service warned.
This year is 'virtually certain' to eclipse 2023 as the world's warmest since records began, likely averaging 1.55C to above pre-industrial levels, the EU earth observation agency said. The record heat has primarily been fuelled by climate change, Copernicus Climate Change Service said, turbo-charging dangerous weather like deadly flooding in Spain, ferocious hurricanes Helene and Milton in the US and record wildfires in Peru.
Mr Trump's campaign team indicated he would pull the US out of the Paris Agreement again, dampening expectations for the UN COP29 climate summit starting in Baku next week. Almost 200 countries will meet to thrash out the collective next steps towards tackling climate change, focusing on funding climate measures in developing nations, a concept Mr Trump has previously criticised.
