2025 was the third warmest year on record, following the unprecedented temperatures in 2023 and 2024. The past year saw a series of extreme weather events across the globe, including heatwaves and severe storms in Europe, North America, and Asia. More info: link.europa.eu/Djw69t

Bar chart showing global annual surface air temperature increase above pre-industrial levels (1850–1900) from about 1940 to 2025. Bars rise gradually through the mid-20th century and accelerate sharply after 1990, shifting from light yellow to dark orange/red as temperatures increase. A dashed horizontal line marks +1.5 °C. The chart notes that 2024 is the warmest year on record and the first to exceed +1.5 °C, 2025 is the third-warmest year and only slightly cooler than 2023, and the average temperature for 2023–2025 exceeded +1.5 °C for the first time over a three-year period.
