Global Temperature Change

Rising global temperatures are one of the most visible signs of climate change, with even small shifts leading to profound effects on ecosystems, weather patterns, and sea levels.

This infographic showcases how global temperatures have risen by about 1.2°C (2.2°F) since the late 19th century. The following charts show how the average global surface temperature has changed each decade and each year relative to the mid 20th century average.

Global temperature rise is a clear indicator of climate change, emphasizing the need for immediate and sustained action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate further warming.
