A new report has found climate goals are slipping out of reach

A new report has found the world is rapidly approaching devastating levels of heating, and international climate goals are slipping out of reach.

It draws on the findings of hundreds of scientists to provide a detailed assessment of how the climate crisis is unfolding.

The science is not new but it delivers a very clear picture of where the world is heading.

It notes the impacts of planet-warming pollution are already more severe than expected and Earth is hurtling towards increasingly dangerous consequences.

While the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is still possible, the report says the pathway to achieving it is rapidly closing.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says “humanity is on thin ice”.

“The rate of temperature rise in the last half century is the highest in 2,000 years,” he said. “Concentrations of carbon dioxide are at their highest in at least 2 million years. The climate time-bomb is ticking.”

Israel and Hamas agree to release hostages in U.S.-brokered deal, marking a potential turning point in Gaza conflict.

In a major diplomatic breakthrough, Israel and Hamas have agreed to release all remaining Israeli hostages under a U.S.-brokered framework. The deal pairs prisoner exchanges with an Israeli troop pullback and expanded aid access, marking a potential turning point in the two-year Gaza conflict.

The agreement, set for approval by Israel’s cabinet, could pave the way for lasting peace if both sides uphold the terms. It follows weeks of negotiations led by U.S. envoys and regional mediators in Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye.

As international agencies prepare to facilitate aid and logistics, the world watches to see whether this fragile deal can hold and bring relief to millions affected by the war.
