UN warns Earth will overshoot 1.5°C, with a plan to cool back down
A new UNEP report says the world is set to cross the 1.5°C warming threshold in the next few years, potentially peaking between 1.8–2.6°C before gradually cooling toward 1.5°C later this century. The plan shifts from preventing overshoot to managing it: accelerate fossil-fuel cuts, deploy carbon-dioxide removal, and adapt to long-lasting impacts like more extreme weather and sea-level rise, with the 1.5°C goal remaining but requiring a different approach from above.
