US EditionClimate on track to warm by nearly 3C without greater ambition - UN report
- The planet is projected to experience disastrous heating of 2.5C to 2.9C by 2100, with global warming reaching 3C.
- Despite record levels of greenhouse gas emissions, countries' current pledges would still result in a nearly 3-degree Celsius warming this century.
- Urgent and ambitious efforts are needed from all countries to reduce fossil fuel use and deforestation in order to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and prevent uninhabitable conditions.

New UN report says world set to warm by 3 C by end of century
The United Nations is warning that the Earth is warming much faster than anticipated because the world isn't acting ambitiously enough on climate targets. Robert McLeman, a professor of Environmental Studies at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, talks about the report and what needs to happen as world leaders prepare to gather at COP28 in Dubai next week.
Climate on track to warm by nearly 3C without aggressive actions, UN report finds
Countries’ current emissions pledges to limit climate change would still put the world on track to warm by nearly 3 degrees Celsius this century, according to a United Nations analysis released Monday, November 20. The annual Emissions Gap report, which assesses countries’ promises to tackle climate change compared with what is needed, finds the world faces between 2.5C (4.5F) and 2.9C (5.2F) of warming above preindustrial levels if governments …
The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) published a report on the 20th stating that even if the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets set by each country can be achieved, there is a possibility that the average temperature in the world will rise 2.5 to 2.9 degrees from before the industrial revolution by the end of this century. It is once again clear that there is a big gap between the current plan and the path of realizing the world-…
Earth to warm up to 2.9C even with current climate pledges: UN
Countries' greenhouse gas-cutting pledges put Earth on track for warming far beyond key limits, potentially up to a catastrophic 2.9 degrees Celsius this century, the UN said Monday, warning "we are out of road".
Current climate pledges could still see Earth warming up to 'catastrophic' 2.9C: UN report
The greenhouse gas reduction pledges adopted by the countries are insufficient to attain the pre-industrial level global temperatures, the United Nations said in its report on Monday (Nov 19). The UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP) annual Emissions Gap report said that based on existing policies and emissions-cutting efforts, the planet’s temperature could still go up to a catastrophic 2.9 degrees Celsius by 2100.
Climă „infernală”. Planeta este pe cale să se încălzească cu 3 grade Celsius, avertizează ONU
Angajamentele statale actuale privind emisiile de gaze cu efect de seră în scopul limitării încălzirii globale vor duce în continuare omenirea către o încălzire a climei cu aproape 3 grade Celsius în acest secol, potrivit unei analize ONU publicate luni, informează Reuters.
