UN Report Warns Global Temperatures Will Exceed 1.5°C but Can Be Reduced
A new United Nations Environment Programme report warns that global temperatures are likely to exceed the 1.5°C threshold set by the 2015 Paris Agreement within the next few years. While this overshoot is considered inevitable, the report outlines a pathway to limit the peak temperature rise and eventually reduce warming below 1.5°C by the end of the century. Achieving this requires rapid, sustained greenhouse gas emission cuts and large-scale carbon dioxide removal. The report highlights intensified climate risks, including extreme weather, ecosystem loss, and threats to vulnerable regions.
