Scientists are warning that the world's cryosphere – glaciers, ice sheets and frozen regions – could suffer permanent damage if global temperatures overshoot the 1.5C limit set by the Paris Agreement. The findings suggest that ice loss caused by temporarily exceeding the threshold may be irreversible even if temperatures later fall. The warning is drawing attention ahead of renewed climate policy debates.

The State of the Cryosphere Report 2026, titled 'The Cost of Overshoot', warns that exceeding the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target would trigger large-scale and often irreversible damage from melting ice sheets, glaciers, permafrost, sea ice and polar oceans. Climate campaigners are sharing the findings as a warning against treating temporary temperature overshoot as a safe option.

A new UN-backed report warns that even temporary overshoot of the Paris agreement's 1.5C warming limit could cause lasting damage to the world's frozen regions, including glaciers, permafrost and polar ice sheets. Scientists say some changes to the cryosphere would be irreversible on human timescales, reinforcing calls for rapid emissions cuts ahead of the next round of global climate negotiations.

Scientists are warning that the world's frozen regions — glaciers, ice sheets and permafrost — will suffer permanent damage if global temperatures overshoot the 1.5C limit before being brought back down. The findings suggest that even a temporary breach of the Paris Agreement target could lock in irreversible losses in the cryosphere, with long-term consequences for sea levels and water supplies.

A new UN-backed report warns that the world's cryosphere faces permanent damage even if global temperatures only temporarily exceed the 1.5C limit set by the Paris Agreement. Scientists say such overshoots could cause lasting harm to glaciers and polar ice sheets in the Arctic and Antarctica, with no guarantee of recovery once temperatures return below the threshold.

Scientists warn that the world's cryosphere — glaciers, ice sheets, permafrost and frozen seas — could suffer permanent damage if global temperatures overshoot the 1.5C limit set by the Paris Agreement. The warning suggests some melting and thawing may be irreversible even if temperatures later return to lower levels.

A UN-backed report warns that even temporary overshoots of the Paris agreement's 1.5C warming target could cause lasting harm to glaciers and polar ice sheets. Scientists say the cryosphere faces permanent damage that cannot be reversed even if temperatures later fall, raising the stakes for global climate policy and emissions cuts.
