COP31: How drought and heat have impacted lives across the globe in 2026

2026 was an exceptionally hot summer for many in the Northern Hemisphere and it looks like there is more to come. If all the countries do what they promise to reduce heat-trapping emissions, Earth will likely still warm another 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit (1.2 degrees Celsius) above current temperatures, according to a recent update of climate calculations by the United Nations Environment Programme. That’s about two-tenths of a degree Fahrenheit (0.1 degrees Celsius) more than last year’s projections by the same science team.
