Global Warming Likely to Pass 1.5°C Threshold, UN Emissions Gap Report Warns
The annual Emissions Gap Report, produced by the United Nations Environment Programme, concludes that exceeding the 1.5 degree Celsius warming limit set by the Paris Agreement is now effectively unavoidable. The assessment points to current national climate pledges and policies, which fall well short of the emissions reductions needed to keep warming within that target. Researchers say the gap between promised and required cuts remains large, even as countries have expressed commitments to tougher action. The report therefore underscores the urgency of rapid, deep reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to limit the severity of further temperature rise.
