## Excerpt

The World Meteorological Organization's yearly bulletin also logs peaks for methane and nitrous oxide, and expects CO2 to keep rising in 2026 as El Niño develops. Global average CO2 concentration reached 426.8 parts per million (ppm) in 2025, or 153% of the 1750 level, according to the World Meteorological Organization bulletin published on 27 October 2026. The rise from 2024 to 2025 was 2.8 ppm: above the 2011-2020 average of 2.4 ppm a year, but below the surge from 2023 to 2024. The WMO expects CO2 to rise again in 2026 because of fossil fuel burning and a developing El Niño; the bulletin arrives ahead of the COP31 climate summit in Antalya, Turkey, on 9-20 November.
