UN Report Finds Current Climate Pledges Insufficient to Limit Warming to 1.5°C
A UN report states that if countries fully implement their current climate pledges, global greenhouse gas emissions will decrease by only about 6-9% below 2019 levels by 2035, falling short of targets needed to limit warming to 1.5°C. Most pledges aim for net zero emissions between 2040 and 2070, with an estimated warming of 1.7-2.3°C by century's end. The report emphasizes that substantial additional emission reductions are necessary to approach the 1.5°C goal.
