Despite global efforts to combat climate change, the United Nations (U.N.) has acknowledged that global temperatures are still on track to rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius.

This sobering revelation comes as a stark reminder of the immense challenges the world faces in curbing the impacts of climate change.

The U.N.’s admission is based on the assessment that even if countries follow their current climate action plans and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it will not be sufficient to limit global warming to the desired target of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

The world has already experienced significant consequences from rising temperatures, including more frequent extreme weather events, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels.

The U.N. Secretary-General stressed the urgency of further action, emphasizing that nations must ramp up their efforts to cut emissions and transition to renewable energy sources.

International cooperation is crucial to addressing this global crisis, as no single country can tackle it alone.

Federal Reserve holds interest rates steady, balancing inflation and jobs, as some governors advocate for a cut.

The Federal Reserve has opted to keep interest rates unchanged, marking the first pause since July. Officials are showing little urgency to resume cuts, even after previous rate reductions.

Two Fed governors opposed the decision, calling for a quarter-point cut, highlighting ongoing debates within the rate-setting committee, which includes both appointed governors and regional bank presidents.

Concerns over the job market and persistent inflation continue to weigh heavily on the Fed’s policy decisions, leaving economists and investors closely watching the next moves.

U.S. President Donald Trump has urged Iran to return to nuclear negotiations, warning that failure to do so could result in a far more severe military response. Posting on Truth Social, Trump signalled a hardening stance as tensions between Washington and Tehran continue to rise.

Trump confirmed that a U.S. naval strike group led by the USS Abraham Lincoln is moving towards Iran, as protests grow inside the country over alleged government repression. The show of force comes amid heightened regional instability and mounting pressure on the Iranian leadership.
