In 2025, the world's oceans absorbed record amounts of heat, intensifying climate disasters such as hurricanes, floods, and marine heatwaves, and contributing to sea level rise. This ongoing ocean warming, which is likely the hottest in at least 1,000 years, underscores the urgent need to reduce emissions to mitigate future climate impacts.

The Earth's oceans have warmed for the ninth consecutive year in 2025, absorbing vast amounts of heat that contribute to climate change, extreme weather, and threats to marine ecosystems like coral reefs, with the warming penetrating as deep as 2,000 meters and likely to persist for centuries. Immediate action to reduce greenhouse gases could stabilize or reverse this trend.

A UN report reveals that climate-related disasters have displaced 250 million people over the past decade, with floods, storms, droughts, and heatwaves driving conflict and displacement, especially in fragile countries that receive limited climate finance. The situation is expected to worsen, with climate change intensifying human rights crises and threatening the habitability of refugee camps by 2050. The UN calls for urgent climate action and funding at COP30 to protect vulnerable populations.
