According to the EU's satellite system, the past seven years have been the hottest on record.
The fifth-warmest year was in 2021.
Warming gases continued to increase.
Governments are committed to limiting global temperature rise to 1.5C. Scientists say that time is running out.
The costs of hotter temperatures are being seen around the world.
Europe had its warmest summer on record, and temperature records in the US and Canada were also broken. In July and August, hundreds of people were killed in extreme wildfires.
Carlo Buontempo, director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service, says that the events are a stark reminder of the need to change our ways, take decisive and effective steps toward a sustainable society and work towards reducing net carbon emissions.
The data comes from a constellation of satellites that watch the Earth from the ground.
The fifth-hottest on record was in 2021. The past seven years were the hottest on record, the agency said.
The pre-industrial level was 1.1-1.2C above the average temperature.
The latest global temperature figure would be easy to dismiss. Who celebrates fifth place?
If we were in a film, the annual temperature updates would be a sign that the plot is getting darker.
The pace of change is measured. The direction of travel is inescapable even though the increments are a fraction of a degree.
The rhythm they mark out sets the pace for our lives. The fires and floods affected many people.
The data shows that the last seven years have been the hottest on record.
We can't say we weren't warned.
The start of the year saw relatively low temperatures compared to recent years, but by June monthly temperatures were at least among the warmest four recorded.
The west coast of the US and Canada, north-east Canada and Greenland, large parts of north and central Africa, and the Middle East all had above average temperatures.
The weather phenomenon known as La Nia contributed to below-average temperatures in western and eastern Siberia, Alaska, and the central and eastern Pacific during the start and end of the year.
Europe's annual temperature was outside the ten warmest years on record but the summer was the hottest.
Greece, Spain and Italy were affected by the heat in July and August.
Europe's record for highest temperature was broken in Sicily.
In Turkey, intense wildfires followed the hot temperatures in the eastern and central Mediterranean.
Huge floods devastated parts of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.
Climate change disrupted the weather systems that were disrupted by these events.
The concentration of two gases that contribute to climate change rose in 2011.
The amount of carbon dioxide in the air grew at a similar rate to 2020.

Climate change is causing rivers to dry up and temperatures to rise to deadly levels in Mexico.
Scientists said that methane levels in the atmosphere reached an all-time high of 1,876 parts per billion. The growth rate of methane was higher in 2020 than it was in the past.
Methane is more potent than CO2 and it lasts less time in the Earth's atmosphere.
The Director of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service said that the concentrations of these gases were not slowing down.
The UK's Met Office will be releasing more data about the temperatures in 2021.
