2024 set a record as the warmest in history, with the average global temperatures 1.6°C above pre-industrial levels. Multiple global records were broken, contributing to extreme events, including floods, heatwaves and wildfires. The impact of human-caused climate change accelerates.

Graph titled '2024 was the warmest year on record and first above 1.5°C.' The subtitle is: "annual global temperature anomalies relative to pre-industrial levels (1850–1900)". The bars are color-coded from yellow to dark red, with warmer anomalies represented in red. The chart highlights a steady rise in temperatures since 1940, culminating in 2024 exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
