What happened
The United Nations Environment Programme evaluated progress toward the goals of the Paris Agreement. The UNEP stated that the world is breaching the 1.5°C climate target, a finding widely assessed as unavoidable and likely within the next few years. Even the most optimistic scenario projects peak warming at 1.8°C.
Why it matters
The failure to meet the 1.5°C promise confirms a lack of safeguard for small, climate-vulnerable states, such as the Pacific Islands. These states, which contributed negligibly to greenhouse gas emissions, are already borrowing heavily to repair climate damage.
The United Nations Environment Programme is advising on the draft NDC 3.0 document being prepared for submission to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change under the Paris Agreement.
