The global carbon emissions from fossil fuels reached a record high in 2024. According to the World Meteorological Organisation, Earth’s average surface temperature temporarily hit 1.5°C above the pre-industrial era in 2024. Global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels is considered a threshold beyond which we may start experiencing the worst impacts of climate change. Keeping this value below 1.5°C is a key target in international climate negotiations.
