Draft, not yet released. In stewardship review. Not indexed until the first approved release.

Readings from the other desks

The climate baseline is read through each steward’s lens, then once as a whole. Each lens is a projection of reviewed findings, not a separate argument. The other desks’ own editions of this subject are listed first, as cross-references, not copies.

6.2Three lenses

One edition, read by each steward. The lens of this site comes first.

GCRI · KEY T

Technical Truth

The evidence supports reading climate as the condition layer of the WEFH+B system. Warming, gases and ocean heat are at records, the carbon budget for 1.5 °C is nearly spent, and impacts concentrate where adaptation capacity is lowest. Evidence is strongest for global indicators and weakest for regional impacts, adaptation finance and tested capability.

CLI-001 · CLI-005 · WAT-007 · SYS-012

GRF · KEY M

Public Meaning

For most people climate risk arrives as a hotter summer, a failed harvest or a flooded street. The baseline asks that public debate keep the global numbers and the local consequences in view together, and say plainly which values are observed, which are modelled and which are projected.

HLT-008 · FOO-009 · CLI-002

GRA · KEY F

Capital Meaning

Readiness implications only. Event losses are rising, adaptation finance is small beside mitigation finance and the carbon budget is nearly used2036. These show where finance-readiness evidence will matter. Nothing here is advice, a rating or an approval.

FIN-010 · CLI-005

NEXUS

Synthesis

The climate system is well measured at the level of global indicators and thinly measured at the level of regional impacts, adaptation spending and tested capability. The 2027 programme should bind regional hazard evidence, test the El Niño compound pathway and track tipping signals before thresholds are crossed.

SYS-012 · C-01 · C-05

6.3Standards, Academy and steward contributions

How the Nexus Standards drafts, the Risk Academy and the three stewards feed each quarterly edition for climate. The standards are a preparatory working draft (2026) and are cited as drafts, never as adopted standards.

Table 6.1The quarterly rhythm every edition follows

6.4GCRI reading: the model card

GCRI’s reading of this edition is its model card: what the national model is, what it computes and where it stops. It is printed in full in Annex A, with the methods it belongs to. Annex A, methodology

6.5Global Risks Forum reading: editorial essays

Four signed essays by the Reports editorial team set out the positions this edition takes. They are interpretation, labelled as such; the evidence they draw on is in the findings register.

Every extreme of 2025 was a water event, a food event and a health event at once. Treating climate as an environmental topic understates how it carries risk between systems. This edition asks where a climate shock goes next.

EDITORIAL ESSAY · 01

Climate is a condition, not a sector

Two peer-reviewed assessments put the remaining 1.5 °C budget at 130 and 170 GtCO2. The gap between them is smaller than one year of emissions. What matters for planning is that both are nearly spent.

EDITORIAL ESSAY · 02

The budget is the clock

Every indicator in this edition rests on long observing records. The authors of the annual indicators update warn that satellite and ocean monitoring is threatened by funding decisions. Keeping the record is the first adaptation.

EDITORIAL ESSAY · 03

Measurement is infrastructure

A global mean hides the heat deaths of a city, the dry river of a basin and the empty granary of a region. Early warning exists in 119 countries and is thinnest in small island developing States. Closing that gap is part of the climate baseline.

EDITORIAL ESSAY · 04

Impacts are local, the numbers are global

  • The 2026 edition of the UNEP Emissions Gap Report was released on 21 October 2026, after the evidence close3346
  • The WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin No. 22 of 27 October 2026 reports 2025 concentrations, after the evidence close32

To watch in 2027

  • Updated national climate targets and the 2035 ambition gap3546
  • Disclosure rules that adopt the IFRS S2 standard in national law27
  • Progress to universal early warning coverage by 202725

Where the evidence agrees

  • Warming is caused by human activity and is still rising78
  • Carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are at record levels31
  • The ocean holds most of the excess heat2

Where it is unsettled

  • When the long-term 1.5 °C level is crossed: C3S points to about 2029, WMO gives a 75% chance that the 2026 to 2030 mean exceeds it14
  • The size of the remaining budget: 170 versus 130 GtCO267
  • The methane budget: bottom-up estimates exceed top-down by 16%11
