Global temperature rise set to cross 1.5-degree Celsius threshold: United Nations

Global temperatures will soon surpass the 1.5-degree Celsius threshold, increasing climate risks. This UN report emphasises immediate greenhouse gas emission cuts to mitigate impacts. The world must aim for an "overshoot, peak, and decline" pathway to reduce warming. Long-term net-negative emissions and carbon removal are essential for recovery. Action is needed now to keep exceedance of 1.5 degrees Celsius minimal.
