Indicators of Global Climate Change 2024: annual update of key indicators of the state of the climate system and human influence Abstract. In a rapidly changing climate, evidence-based decision-making benefits from up-to-date and timely information. Here we compile monitoring datasets (published at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.15639576; Smith et al., 2025a) to produce updated estimates for key indicators of the state of the climate system: net emissions of greenhouse gases and short-lived climate forcers, greenhouse gas concentrations, radiative forcing, the Earth's energy imbalance, surface temperature changes, warming attributed to human activities, the remaining carbon budget, and estimates of global temperature extremes. This year, we additionally include indicators for sea-level rise and land precipitation change. We follow methods as closely as possible to those used in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) Working Group One report. The indicators show that human activities are increasing the Earth's energy imbalance and driving faster sea-level rise compared to the AR6 assessment. For the 2015–2024 decade average, observed warming relative to 1850–1900 was 1.24 [1.11 to 1.35] °C, of which 1.22 [1.0 to 1.5] °C was human-induced. The 2024-observed best estimate of global surface temperature (1.52 °C) is well above the best estimate of human-caused warming (1.36 °C). However, the 2024 observed warming can still be regarded as a typical year, considering the human-induced warming level and the state of internal variability associated with the phase of El Niño and Atlantic variability. Human-induced warming has been increasing at a rate that is unprecedented in the instrumental record, reaching 0.27 [0.2–0.4] °C per decade over 2015–2024. This high rate of warming is caused by a combination of greenhouse gas emissions being at an all-time high of 53.6±5.2 Gt CO2e yr−1 over the last decade (2014–2023), as well as reductions in the strength of aerosol cooling. Despite this, there is evidence that the rate of increase in CO2 emissions over the last decade has slowed compared to the 2000s, and depending on societal choices, a continued series of these annual updates over the critical 2020s decade could track decreases or increases in the rate of the climatic changes presented here.

Our new paper updating key metrics in the IPCC is now out, and the news is grim:

⬆️ Human induced warming now at 1.36C
⬆️ Rate of warming now 0.27C / decade
⬆️ Sharp increase in Earth's energy imbalance
⬇️ Remaining 1.5C carbon budget only 130 GtCO2

L'été, lorsque le jour a fui, de fleurs couverte
La plaine verse au loin un parfum enivrant ;
Les yeux fermés, l'oreille aux rumeurs entrouverte,
On ne dort qu'à demi d'un sommeil transparent

Image au style illustratif intitulée "Réduire la pollution plastique" avec le logo IPBES. L'illustration montre une scène marine en tons turquoise et beige où des poissons nagent parmi des déchets plastiques. On aperçoit des sacs plastiques noirs et blancs, ainsi que d'autres débris flottant dans l'eau aux côtés de plusieurs poissons. Le paysage comprend une côte et un ciel bleu clair en arrière-plan. Le texte en français explique : "La réduction de la pollution plastique a permis d'améliorer la qualité de l'eau et la protection de la faune, de diminuer les inondations et de réduire l'incidence des maladies transmises par l'eau qui y sont associées." La source est citée comme "—Évaluation Nexus de l'IPBES" L'image utilise un style de collage mêlant illustrations et éléments réalistes pour représenter l'impact des déchets plastiques sur l'environnement marin.

An infographic depicting the various ways people relate to and value nature, including living from nature, living in nature, living with nature and living as nature.

Different worldviews and knowledge systems
influence the ways people interact with and value nature. 🌿- IPBES #ValuesAssessment

All these values must be considered to effectively address the #biodiversity crisis. 🌍🧪

Comic: First panel shows interconnected elements like biodiversity, water, and climate with linking arrows. Second panel depicts three silos labeled 'SOLUTION' addressing separate issues. Third panel shows connected solutions through pipes and connections. Fourth panel features a circular wheel diagram with scientists pointing to response options. Fifth panel illustrates a landscape with solutions like 'restore nature." Final panel shows hands joining together with a flowering plant emerging.

🌍🌱 Intertwined crises of biodiversity, food, water, health & climate are more effectively addressed together. The IPBES #NexusAssessment explores 71 response options that consider this vital interconnection. 🧪

Noticed that there doesn't seem to be an obvious Circular Economy Starter Pack... So, I've started one here (slightly UK/EU centric). Suggestions for additions welcomed, and also how to add people quickly using the app, as it seems quite convoluted:

We have to stop treating the planet as a mine.
