US EditionOvershooting 1.5°C Climate Target Now 'Inevitable,' Says UN Chief
UN reports a projected 10% global emissions cut by 2035 but warns this pace is insufficient to meet the 1.5C warming limit outlined in the Paris Agreement.
- The UN reports that commitments to keep global warming under 1.5C are failing ahead of COP30.
- Every signatory agreed to submit a new carbon-cutting plan every five years.
- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that slow action makes it 'inevitable' to exceed 1.5C in the short term.
- The UN expresses confidence that global emissions will peak and decline in the coming years.
