Emissions continue to rise
Immediate action needed to achieve 1.5°C – IPCC
Limiting warming to around 1.5°C requires global greenhouse gas emissions to peak before 2025 at the latest, but annual figures are still rising
Limiting global warming to 1.5°C this century is impossible without immediate and deep emissions reductions across all sectors, according to the latest report from the UN’s Independent Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The Paris Agreement stated a goal of holding the increase in the global average temperatures to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels and pursuing efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C. The IPCC Working Group III provides global policymakers with regular scientific assessments on progress towards these targets. 59Gt – Global CO₂ emissions in 2019 In the scenarios the group assessed, limiting warming to around 1.5°C requires global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to
