An analysis of available new climate pledges under the Paris Agreement finds that the predicted global temperature rise over the course of this century has slightly fallen, but not by enough to avoid a serious escalation of climate risks and damages. It finds this overshoot must be limited through faster and bigger reductions in greenhouse...

This report warns that unprecedented ocean warming, sea level rise, and extreme weather are endangering lives, ecosystems, and economies across the South-West Pacific. It calls for urgent investment in adaptation, early warnings and climate-resilient development.

The report provides a synthesis of the global annual to decadal climate predictions. Global temperatures are expected to remain at or near record levels in the next five years, increasing climate risks on societies, economies and sustainable development. Every additional fraction of a degree of warming drives more harmful and extreme weather events and environmental...

Methane emissions from fossil fuels remain at stubbornly high levels. The report presents the latest sector-wide methane emissions estimates and examines different abatement options and associated costs. It finds that measures to tackle methane emissions are often very cost-effective and could have brought an extra 100 billion cubic metres of gas to market in 2024.

As oceans heat up, it is predicted that Australians will experience fewer cyclones but they will be more extreme. In 2025, Tropical Cyclone Alfred caused torrential rains, coastal flooding and powerful winds across the country. This report asserts the intensity and devastation of this event was fuelled by climate pollution. It calls for rapidly cutting...
