WMO confirms that the global climate is entering a phase of unprecedented historic changes

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has issued a decisive report that confirms a profound alteration in the Earth's natural balance. According to experts, the constant increase in greenhouse gas concentrations is causing an accelerated warming of both the atmosphere and the oceans.

Thanks to the use of state-of-the-art satellite observation tools, the scientific community has been able to verify that the melting at the poles is happening today at a significantly faster rate than in previous decades.

The data presented are alarming: the last eleven years are positioned as the hottest since records began. The report highlights that the decade 2015-2025 was the warmest in history, also pointing out that the past year 2025 was one of the three years with the highest temperatures in the world.

For the United Nations, this uninterrupted succession of thermal records ceases to be a seasonal anomaly and becomes irrefutable evidence of structural climate change.

A critical finding of the report is the role of the ocean as a thermal regulator. Over the past two decades, the seas have absorbed an amount of energy equivalent to several times the annual energy consumption of all mankind. While this “sponge” capacity has stopped even more drastic global warming, the cost has been devastating: the Arctic today has historically low ice mass levels, reaching dimensions of thinness and reduction never before documented by modern science.

Faced with this scenario, the Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, was emphatic in his diagnosis and assured that “the global climate is in an emergency situation. We are pushing the planet beyond its physical limits; all key climate indicators have already exceeded the alarm threshold.”

With the dissemination of this report, international organizations seek to transform global consciousness into concrete actions that allow us to understand and mitigate the critical processes that are reconfiguring the planet's climate.
