The amount of heat trapped by the Earth reached record levels in 2025, according to a United Nations report released on Monday. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) stated that the eleven warmest years on record all occurred between 2015 and 2025. Last year was the second or third hottest year on record, at about 1.43 degrees Celsius above the 1850-1900 average.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said that the "global climate is in a state of emergency." Guterres added that "Planet Earth is being pushed beyond its limits. Every key climate indicator is flashing red." The WMO confirmed this decade as the hottest on record in its State of the Global Climate annual report.
The UN warned that the consequences of record heat levels could last for thousands of years. Guterres stated, "Humanity has just endured the 11 hottest years on record. When history repeats itself 11 times, it is no longer a coincidence. It is a call to act." The UN urges immediate action to mitigate the long-term impacts of climate change.

Indian stock markets experienced a significant downturn. The downturn reflects the global economic strain. The Rupee's fall and stock market decline highlight the immediate financial consequences of global instability.
