Abatify Summary

Nature & Climate Perspective

A sustained decadal warming trend of +0. 16°C increases thermal pressure on sensitive habitats, accelerating phenological shifts in biodiversity and potentially reducing the carbon sequestration capacity of terrestrial ecosystems through increased evapotranspiration.

Market & Policy Outlook

Continued positive temperature anomalies validate long-term climate models, likely triggering shifts in institutional risk assessments and reinforcing the necessity for more aggressive carbon pricing frameworks and capital reallocation toward climate-resilient infrastructure.

The Version 6.1 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for January, 2026 was +0.35 deg. C departure from the 1991-2020 mean, up a little from the December, 2025 value of +0.30 deg. C. The Version 6.1 global area-averaged linear temperature trend (January 1979 through January 2026) remains at +0.16 deg/ C/decade (+0.22 C/decade over […]
