What is Climate Change?
Climate change is caused by the greenhouse effect: certain gases in Earth's atmosphere act like a cozy blanket, trapping heat from the sun and causing our planet to warm up over time.
Global Temperature Trends
Understanding our current climate data is essential for taking effective action. Here are the key facts about global warming trends.
1.2°C Temperature Rise
The average global temperature has risen by approximately 1.2°C compared to the pre-industrial period, driving more frequent heatwaves.
Hottest Decade on Record
The last decade was the warmest in human history. Rising ocean temperatures are impacting coral reefs and marine life globally.
GHG Concentrations
Carbon dioxide concentrations in our atmosphere are at their highest in millions of years, trap heat and warming our planet.
