According to Copernicus data (the EU’s Earth observation programme), 2025 ranked as the third hottest year on record. Temperatures were just 0.01°C lower than in 2023 and 0.13°C lower than in 2024. From 2023 to 2025, global average temperatures exceeded pre-industrial levels (1850–1900) by over 1.5°C. This marked the first three-year period above this threshold, which the Paris Agreement set as a limit to avoid.

This text provides an overview of the Brazilian government's most recent actions on environmental issues and their potential impact on the Amazon rainforest.

Las Vías Socioeconómicas Compartidas (SSPs por sus siglas en inglés) son diversos escenarios de cambios socioeconómicos globales proyectados hasta el 2100 por el IPCC. Estos escenarios se estructuran alrededor de cinco distintas narrativas que representan posibles caminos de evolución socioeconómicos, nombrados como: Desarrollo sostenible, Competencia regional, Aumento de desigualdad, Dependencia de los combustibles fósiles y Desarrollo moderado. En el presente artículo se describirán estas vías y lo que significan.
