At the opening of the 31st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the World Meteorological Organization released a report on the 9th stating that in 2026, the long-term trend of abnormally high global temperatures, melting glaciers, and rising sea levels will continue. Super-strong El Niño is expected to further exacerbate heat and extreme weather, and its effects will continue until 2027. The report shows that from January to September this year, the global average surface temperature was about 1.47 degrees Celsius higher than the pre-industrial average. Affected by the El Niño warming effect, this figure is likely to continue to rise until the end of the year. 2026 will be one of the four warmest years on record.
