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.
Why now: A new UN-backed scientific report has just highlighted irreversible risks to the world's ice from exceeding the 1.5C threshold.
