C3S data indicates a virtually certain likelihood that 2024 will become the warmest year on record, exceeding the 1.5°C threshold above pre-industrial levels. This milestone underlines the urgency of addressing climate change through informed global strategies.

The C3S visualization highlights significant surface air temperature anomalies in November 2024 across Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia, showcasing the widespread impact of rising global temperatures.

Such detailed analyses from C3S are instrumental for policymakers and stakeholders, providing actionable insights to guide climate adaptation and mitigation measures.
