Despite 2024 being warmest year, global warming still below Paris pact threshold

The year 2024 is projected to be the warmest on record with a global temperature rise of 1.55 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, per the WMO report. Despite this, long-term warming stays below the Paris Agreement’s 1.5-degree threshold. The increase is driven by greenhouse gas emissions and climate events like El Niño.
