Global temperatures will soon surpass the 1.5-degree Celsius threshold, increasing climate risks. This UN report emphasises immediate greenhouse gas emission cuts to mitigate impacts. The world must aim for an "overshoot, peak, and decline" pathway to reduce warming. Long-term net-negative emissions and carbon removal are essential for recovery. Action is needed now to keep exceedance of 1.5 degrees Celsius minimal.

Earth will breach a long-standing target before the end of the decade, report says.

Focus must now switch to limiting extent of overshoot, says United Nations' climate report

If global warming remains above 1.5 degrees Celsius, a new U.N. report says “there are no good outcomes.”

A United Nations report details managing global temperatures after exceeding the 1.5C target. Scientists agree warming above this level poses grave risks to the planet. The…
