Missing 1.5C climate target is a moral failure, UN chief tells Cop30 summit
Failing to limit global heating to 1.5C constitutes moral failure and deadly negligence that will cause irreversible damage, widespread suffering, and amplified security threats.
Still a chance to return to 1.5C climate goal, researchers say
Concerted government action to cut emissions, scale renewables, electrify key sectors and phase out fossil fuels can limit warming to around 1.5–1.7°C.
Triple-whammy of hottest ever years risks irreversible damage', says UN
A triple sequence of record-hot years (2023–2025) makes limiting warming to 1.5°C virtually impossible without temporary overshoot and major carbon dioxide removal.
