Global warming acceleration and rising climate risks

Overview

Research published in Geophysical Research Letters confirms that global warming has accelerated significantly. Between 2015 and 2025, the Earth’s average temperature increased by 0.35 °C, a notable rise from the 0.2 °C per decade observed between 1970 and 2015. Co-author Stefan Rahmstorf warned that if these rates persist, the planet could surpass the 1.5 °C Paris Agreement limit before 2030. Climate physicist Antonello Pasini of the National Research Council (CNR) notes that the rate of temperature increase has nearly doubled, reaching approximately 0.4 °C per decade. Because this surge is not accompanied by a proportional jump in CO2 levels, researchers suggest anthropogenic factors and climate feedback loops, such as changes in planetary reflectivity, may be contributing. By 2025, global average temperatures reached approximately 1.44 °C above pre-industrial levels. Ecological impacts are intensifying: the Arctic is warming 3.5 times faster than the global average, and 84% of the world’s corals experienced heat stress between 2023 and 2025. In Europe, extreme heatwaves have been linked to over 200,000 heat-related deaths over the last four years. In September 2026, a United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) report titled ‘Limiting Overshoot’ warned that the 1.5-degree Celsius warming threshold is now unavoidable. UN Secretary-General António Guterres stated that “humanity is speeding past the limit to avoid climate catastrophe.” Recent reports indicate that global temperatures have now surpassed the 1.5°C threshold. New findings from the IPCC and WMO emphasize that human-induced emissions are causing widespread damage to food production, water security, and economic growth. The WMO suggests a 91% probability that at least one year between 2026 and 2030 will exceed the 1.5°C threshold. As temperature targets become harder to meet, global climate finance faces mounting challenges.
