The 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement is no longer viable
Recent analysis suggests the Paris Agreement’s aim to limit warming to 1.5°C is now considered unattainable, as current emission trajectories and policy measures fall short. Scientists warn that without dramatically accelerated reductions, the target will be missed, prompting calls for revised strategies and heightened urgency in climate action. Policymakers must now explore more aggressive mitigation pathways worldwide and financing options.
