UN charts course to manage global warming-limit breach
The UN now says global warming will cross the 1.5°C limit in a few years. Current policies could cause a 2.6°C rise by 2100. So, it has drawn a route to overshoot, peak, and then bring temperatures down. This is the best remaining option, but time above 1.5°C brings costly, irreversible damage.
Key Statutory Highlights
- A UN report says global warming will breach the 1.5°C Paris Agreement limit within the next few years.
- Current policies point to a temperature rise of about 2.6°C by 2100, within a range of 1.9–3.6°C.
- The UNEP's new 'overshoot, peak and decline' pathway aims to keep the peak low and return below 1.5°C by century's end.
