Global average temperatures have now surpassed the 1.5C above pre-industrial levels climate threshold for 12 consecutive months. The European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service reported that the average temperature for the year through June 2024 was 1.64C higher than the era from 1850 to 1900, with last month being the hottest ever June. The trend underscores the urgent need to curb greenhouse gas emissions to prevent further temperature increases and climate extremes, as outlined in the Paris Agreement.
