- The Planetary Climate Vital Signs Report 2026, released during the Bonn Climate Change Conference (SB64), warned that all 11 major planetary climate indicators have worsened since the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report.
- The report was published in Earth System Science Data by around 70 scientists from 17 countries and provides updated measurements of key global climate indicators.
- Marine heatwaves showed the sharpest deterioration, increasing by 1%, while Earth's Energy Imbalance rose by 8%, indicating faster heat accumulation in the climate system.
- Human-induced warming reached 1.37°C above pre-industrial levels in 2025, and current trends suggest that the 1.5°C limit of the Paris Agreement could be crossed within about four years.
- The report warned that rising temperatures and marine heatwaves could intensify extreme weather events, damage marine ecosystems, disrupt monsoon systems, and threaten food and water security.
