Report: 10 new insights in climate science 2024/2025

This report finds that surging global temperatures are making the planet increasingly uninhabitable: They are disrupting the oceans’ vital planetary processes, pushing the Amazon rainforest to the brink of large-scale collapse and threatening an unborn generation by heightening chances of pregnancy complications and even loss. Key climate insights include threats that could reverse decades of progress in maternal and reproductive health, increase the severity and cost of El Niño events, and endanger one of our most crucial natural carbon sinks.

‘10 New Insights in Climate Science’ span a vast range of climate research. The report is designed to equip policymakers with the latest and most pivotal climate research published over the past 18 months. The latest climate science provides insights that can inform negotiations at the UN annual conference on climate change COP29 and policy through 2025 and beyond. The report urges policymakers at COP29 to use these insights during negotiations, including on climate finance.
