Global temperatures will almost certainly average more than 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels in 2026, the European Union's Copernicus Climate Change Service said Friday. That would make 2026 the second calendar year after 2024 above the threshold set as part of the Paris Agreement . The Paris treaty was aimed at preventing global temperatures from rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius in the long term. The 2015 deal was seen as a major step forward in tackling climate change. Most of the world's nations agreed to hold global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels and "pursue efforts" to keep it below 1.5 degrees .
