Greenhouse gases are on a steady rise and saw their highest annual levels ever recorded in the atmosphere in 2024.

Yes - a bit less than the global record but maybe a record for the northern hemisphere. The plan is now for a World Meteorological Organization Expert Team to look into this measurement to see if it is reliable.

Why did GHG emissions rise?
50% of the increase was from land-use change, primarily due to more fires during El Niño. We expect this to drop in 2025. LUC is also very uncertain.
All other main regions, except EU27, with rising emissions in 2024.

What a great way to communicate uncertainty in the weather forecast - using a simple story line.
