All IPCC AR6 regions are close to their 1.5 °C- and 2 °C-equivalent warming limits
Researchers found all 46 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change land regions are already near 1.5°C and 2°C warming limits, with some areas far above them.
- A University of Victoria study found that global land regions have reached between 90 and 94% of the 1.5°C warming limit defined by the Paris Agreement, conducted in collaboration with Nanjing University.
- Human influence pushed global land average temperatures above 1.9°C relative to preindustrial levels by the end of 2025, according to researchers from the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium. Land areas warm faster than oceans, particularly at high northern latitudes.
- Canada experienced 2.2°C of warming over the past decade compared to preindustrial times, illustrating how land regions in northern latitudes have warmed significantly faster than ocean-influenced areas like southern South America and New Zealand.
- Climate risks tied to 1.5°C warming are already being experienced globally, said Zwiers, a scientist emeritus at the consortium. Scientists at the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium are using findings to inform infrastructure design for buildings and bridges.
- By 2029, all regions identified by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change are projected to reach their 1.5°C equivalent warming limit, according to the study's projections.

All IPCC AR6 regions are close to their 1.5 °C- and 2 °C-equivalent warming limits
Global temperatures have averaged 1.2 °C above pre-industrial levels over the past decade, yet regional warming patterns and remaining warming budgets under Paris Agreement limits remain uncertain owing to insufficient historical observations. Here we quantify and attribute warming across all IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) regions since pre-industrial times using a Bayesian framework combining multi-model simulations with observations, enabl…

The report was published by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. At the COP21 summit in Paris in 2015, heads of government decided to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
