UN report says Paris Agreement 1.5°C goal is out of reach

Original: The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable

The UN Environment Programme's latest Emissions Gap Report concludes that the Paris Agreement's target of limiting warming to 1.5°C is no longer within reach, as current pledges and policies leave the world on track to overshoot that threshold. Observers are debating what this means for climate policy, with discussion focusing on whether efforts should now shift toward stricter mitigation and adaptation under higher warming scenarios.

Why now: A new UNEP emissions gap report has concluded the 1.5°C warming limit can no longer be met, prompting widespread debate about the failure of current climate policy.
