The UN's World Meteorological Organization warns there's a 70% chance global warming will exceed the 1.5°C target between 2025-2029. The planet is expected to experience continued historic warming, following the hottest years on record in 2023 and 2024. Projections suggest a 1.2°C to 1.9°C increase above pre-industrial levels. Warming could intensify heatwaves, droughts, and extreme weather events. Arctic warming is expected to outpace global averages, and certain regions, like South Asia, may face wetter conditions.
