The mean average annual global near-surface temperature is increasing since the mid-19^th century. Compared to pre-industrial levels (1850-1900), the global temperature has increased almost 1 °C. This increase has accelerated since the 1970s; it is estimated that the temperature increases 0.1 °C every 5 to 6 years. To prevent serious environmental, economic and societal impacts of climate change, all signatories to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UN, 1992) committed in the 2015 Paris Agreement to limiting global temperature increase to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels by 2050 and to pursuing efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 °C (UN, 2015a).  The observed warming up so far already amounts to half of the maximum 2 °C increase that would be compatible with the Paris Agreement(EEA, 2020c).
