Climate Central , 2025

Climate Central’s latest report reveals that from December 2024 to February 2025, over 5.1 billion people experienced above-average temperatures due to climate change. Using the Climate Shift Index, the analysis attributes these temperature anomalies largely to human-caused emissions, particularly from fossil fuels. Regions like Asia, South America, and parts of Africa saw the highest exposure rates. The report emphasizes the urgency of emissions reduction and global climate adaptation efforts to protect vulnerable populations. It provides valuable insights into how widespread and uneven climate impacts are becoming, reinforcing the need for targeted climate resilience and policy responses worldwide.
