The four-year average Earth's Energy Imbalance is record high at +1.41 W/m².

According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150,000 trees have been planted and 45 hectares of parks created in the city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to and manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) expected by 2050.
