AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoClimate Outlook: 2026 is virtually certain to top 1.5°C above preindustrial levels and is likely to be the second-hottest year on record, Copernicus says. October was 1.75°C above that baseline. The figures loom over COP31, which opens in Türkiye on Nov. 9, with negotiators facing urgent questions about emissions and climate finance. Ocean Heat: The WMO says ocean heat hit a record in 2025 for the ninth straight year, raising risks for coastal communities, fisheries and food supplies. Wildlife: A study found breeding chinstrap penguin nests on Zavodovski Island fell 63% from 2011 to 2025. Researchers point to warmer seas and shifting food supplies, not the island’s volcano. Disaster Recovery: Nepal is rebuilding after an August flash flood that killed at least 1,400 people and left more than 5,000 missing. Adaptation Funding: The World Bank has added $500 million to a northern Nigeria programme to restore degraded land, improve water management and support climate-resilient farming. By 2031, it aims to reach 1.4 million hectares and benefit 6.6 million people.
