Global warming exceeding 1.5°C is now likely, according to a United Nations assessment. The focus must shift to limiting temperature overshoot and its duration. Every fraction of a degree above this threshold increases climate risks significantly. Even optimistic scenarios project warming peaks around 1.8°C before potential decline. Reducing emissions and exploring carbon removal remain crucial for managing future warming.
