Planet on Course to Permanently Breach 1.5°C Limit by 2030 11/06/2026 Stefan Anderson The world will permanently breach the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C warming limit within about four years if emissions continue at current levels, a major global stocktake of the climate system published Thursday has found. The fourth annual Indicators of Global Climate Change report, published at the UN climate meetings in Bonn as negotiators begin to lay […] Continue reading -> As Extreme Heat Deaths Mount in Europe, WHO Urges Urban Redesign 11/06/2026 Felix Sassmannshausen Following a severe May heatwave, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued new global guidelines on Thursday in Berlin to accelerate climate adaptation and structurally overhaul health systems and urban spaces. Over the past four years, extreme heat has claimed more than 200,000 lives across Europe, positioning it as the deadliest climate-related hazard. As new climate […] Continue reading -> El Niño Conditions Will Lead to More Heatwaves, Droughts and Wildfires Over Next Few Months, Warns WMO 02/06/2026 Disha Shetty Global leaders and policymakers must prepare for above-average temperatures until at least August due to El Niño conditions, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned. In a new update, the WMO indicated an 80% likelihood of an El Niño event during June–August, with a 90% probability that this could continue until at least November.
