Latest #Climate data shows a podium finish for 2025
We are in the decade where the 1.5°C limit is likely to be exceeded, highlighting the accelerating pace of climate change
Average global temperature for 2023–2025 is likely to exceed 1.5°C, the first three-year average to do so 🌡️🌏🧪⚒️

Another fantastic #dataviz for the cover of the latest @unep.org #Emissions Gap Report
Off Target:
- only 1/3 of countries submitted updated NDCs
- We are likely to exceed 1.5ºC this decade
- analysis of limiting overshoot to 1.8ºC

New national climate plans have barely moved the needle on limiting global warming. Yet there is hope.
According to UNEP's latest #EmissionsGap Report, accelerated adoption of renewable energy and falling costs mean we have the tools to cut emissions now: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...
