US EditionCarbon budget to keep global warming at 1.5 C could be exhausted in 3 years: report
- A 2025 report shows the world is on track to exhaust the 1.5°C carbon budget within just over three years due to continued high emissions.
- This outcome follows decades of rising emissions and warming, with last year’s global surface temperatures first surpassing 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
- The report, authored by more than 60 scientists and published in Earth System Science Data, highlights accelerating sea-level rise and climate impacts intensifying worldwide.
- Professor Joeri Rogelj stated, “The window to stay within 1.5°C is rapidly closing” and emphasized swift emission cuts are needed to meet Paris Agreement goals.
- Without transformational change in energy systems and emission reductions, breaching 1.5°C will cause more frequent extreme weather, greater harm, and risks to vulnerable populations.

3 Years Could Be Left to Limit Warming to 1.5 Degrees, Scientists Warn
Leading climate scientists are warning that the timeframe to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is shrinking, and the world could have just three years left to prevent breaching this limit. Experts warn the threshold could be passed within the next few years, with Piers Forster, director at the Priestley Centre for Climate Futures at University of Leeds, noting that “Things are all moving in the wrong direction” with global heating and …

The estimated carbon remaining to reach temperatures +1.5°C above pre-industrial levels would be depleted in just over three years at current CO2 emissions levels.
