UN: Keep warming above 1.5 degrees as short as possible

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) warns that while global temperatures have already exceeded the 1.5-degree Celsius threshold, efforts must focus on keeping this overshoot as short-lived as possible. The report 'Limiting Overshoot' highlights that risks increase with every fraction of a degree and each passing year. Current projections suggest Earth could warm by around 2.6 degrees, leading to extreme heatwaves, wildfires, and deadly floods. UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized the need to limit temperature increases and reduce the duration of overshoot. UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen called for intensifying climate action rather than abandoning it.
