Press releases

CEO Bill Hare joins UN Press conference releasing a report on sea-level rise.

A new Climate Analytics study shows that combined heat-and-drought events already reduce average household incomes by almost 3% across Europe, with much larger losses in the hardest-hit regions.

2025 was one of the top three hottest years on record, with global average surface temperatures at 1.44°C ±0.13°C above the 1850-1900 average, according to WMO’s consolidated analysis of eight datasets.

"To me, neither of these papers suggests we have reached 1.5°C," Bill Hare comments on two papers published today in Nature Climate Change calculating how close we are to the longer-term Paris Agreement limit.

New paper published in Nature analyses future scenarios in which we temporarily exceed 1.5°C and bring temperatures back down in the long run. It finds overshoot comes with irreversible consequences and rapid near-term emissions reductions are essential to reducing climate risks.
