  • The Paris Agreement was adopted in 2015 and pledged to limit global warming “well below” 2C above pre-industrial levels.
  • Despite some progress, there is a large gap between current commitments and what’s needed to avoid exceeding global temperature limits.
  • If emissions are not rapidly reduced, the world will likely exceed global warming of 1.5C between 2026 and 2042, according to Carbon Brief analysis.
  • The 2C threshold could be exceeded as early as 2034.
