Global temperature reached a record 13.23°C, 1.75°C above pre-industrial levels, surpassing the 1991-2020 baseline by 0.79°C, says Copernicus

In other words, it has surpassed the 1.5°C threshold, the target of the Paris Agreement signed in 2015, aiming to limit the temperature rise below 2°C.

Limnes Vistonis, a 18,000-hectare Natura 2000 wetland in Greece, supports 144 waterbird and raptor species, vital for breeding, migration, and wintering.

For the first time, global temperature increases are anticipated to surpass the 1.5°C threshold, compared to the pre-industrial levels.

The west coast of Greece experienced increased precipitation from Storm Boris in September 2024, but this was not felt by the rest of the country, where regions are still recovering from a dry summer.
