January was the warmest month on record globally, according to research data as it follows the trend of 2023 which was the warmest year.
According to skynews, this means the global average temperature for the past twelve months is 1.52C above the pre-industrial average of 1850-1900.
More than 190 countries committed under the Paris Agreement in 2015 to limit global warming to “well below” a rise of 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels by the end of the century.
Countries also agreed to “continue efforts” to keep warming within the safer limit of 1.5C, after which climate impacts become even harder to adjust to.
Samantha Burgess, Deputy Director of the EU Copernicus Climate Change Service (CCCS) said: “2024 starts with another record-breaking month. Not only is it the warmest January on record, but we’ve just experienced a 12-month period of more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial reference period. Rapid reductions in greenhouse gas emissions are the only way to stop global warming.”
