UN Warns We’re Near the 1.5°C Warming Threshold and Urges a Path Back

A UNEP report warns the world is on track to exceed the Paris-aligned 1.5°C warming limit, potentially within just a few years, unless emissions fall immediately and sustainably while adaptation measures are expanded. The document highlights the need for net-negative emissions and scalable carbon capture, plus actions to protect communities from climate impacts, outlining a pathway to return below 1.5°C even as we confront ongoing damages from climate change.
