Study Warns Climate Change Indicators Rising Rapidly

  • 17 Jun 2026

In June 2026, a new global study presented at the Bonn Climate Change Conference (SB64) has found that all 11 major climate indicators assessed have worsened since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report, highlighting the accelerating pace of climate change.

Key Points:

  • Purpose of the Study: It aims to bridge the information gap between successive IPCC assessment reports by providing updated climate indicators.
  • All Climate Indicators Worsened: All 11 climate indicators assessed showed deterioration since the previous IPCC assessment cycle.
  • Marine Heatwaves Show Highest Increase: Marine heatwaves recorded the sharpest rise, increasing by 61.1%.
  • Human-Caused Warming: Global warming caused by human activities reached 1.37°C in 2025 above pre-industrial levels.
  • 1.5°C Threshold Approaching: The study projects that the 1.5°C warming limit could be crossed within approximately four years if current trends continue.
