US EditionWorld will overshoot 1.5C temperature rise goal, UN says
- On Tuesday, the United Nations' Emissions Gap Report projected the world is headed for between 2.3 and 3.4 degrees C of warming and warned the 2 degrees C Paris limit is likely to be exceeded without deeper emissions cuts.
- Last year global greenhouse gas emissions reached 57.7 billion tons and must fall to about 33 billion tons annually, while last month’s analysis found none of the 45 global indicators are on pace, the report says.
- If nations do as promised, the report projects a 2.3 to 2.5 degrees C projection, while current policies trajectory leads to about 2.8 degrees C of warming.
- Anne Olhoff said more intense extreme events will occur and warned every tenth of a degree will intensify harm, while scientists say the accelerating crisis drives global instability.
- Over the last 10 years, clean energy prices plunged—onshore wind down 70 percent and solar and batteries down roughly 90 percent—and Rhodium Group sees power-sector emissions halving by midcentury, yet the report says deep cuts still likely mean at least 1.7 degrees C this century.

According to UNEP's Emission Gap Report 2025, the world's temperature is going to increase by 2.3 to 2.5 degrees Celsius by the year 2100, which will cause changes in the seasons and may lead to terrible disasters.
It's official: The world will speed past 1.5 C climate threshold in the next decade, UN says
The UNEP's 2025 Emissions Gap report has found that global average temperatures will exceed 1.5 C (2.7 F) before 2035 — and this just days before the COP30 climate summit kicks off in Brazil.
Based on their promises, countries around the world should reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 10% by 2035: progress, but far behind what would be required to prevent the global temperature from exceeding the threshold of 1.5 degrees Celsius, or even 2 degrees.
UN: We're Hitting 1.5C, Like It or Not
The United Nations Environment Programme is expanding on what we already know : The world is set to surpass its key climate target of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius within the next decade. In its annual Emissions Gap Report released on Tuesday, the agency points to sluggish action...
