Executive Summary
New research and reporting show record heat, stronger floods and droughts, and weakening carbon sinks that raise risks for ecosystems, economies and policy
- Record warmth in 2023-2024 reflects a worsening planetary energy imbalance
- Rapid ocean warming and marine heat waves reduce carbon uptake and damage ecosystems
- The global land carbon sink weakened in 2023, shrinking the remaining carbon budget
- Wildfire and permafrost thaw add pressure on northern ecosystems and carbon storage
- Groundwater depletion is accelerating, with risks for agriculture and coastal seawater intrusion
- Climate-driven dengue, heat stress and labor losses are rising in vulnerable regions
- Reports stress that emissions cuts, governance and integrated policy packages outperform single measures
