UN chief warns that humanity has fallen short of the 1.5 °C climate goal

UN climate report shows global emissions projected to drop 10 % by 2035, still far below the 60 % cut target; most Paris Agreement signatories—including major emitters—have yet to submit their commitments to the UN.

    1. This will be difficult to reverse – requiring faster and bigger additional reductions in greenhouse gas emissions to minimize overshoot.

    1. The whole-of-economy, whole-of-society approaches … point to strong climate action as an increasingly core pillar of ensuring economic stability and growth, jobs, health, and energy security and affordability, among many other policy imperatives, in countries.
    2. However, it remains clear that major acceleration is still needed in terms of delivering faster and deeper emission reductions and ensuring that the vast benefits of strong climate action reach all countries and peoples.
    3. So while the direction of travel is improving every year, we have a serious need for more speed, and for helping more countries take stronger climate actions.
    4. Through UN-convened climate cooperation and national efforts, humanity is now clearly bending the emissions curve downwards for the first time, although still not nearly fast enough.

    1. Nations have had three attempts to deliver promises made under the Paris Agreement, and each time they have landed off target.
    2. While national climate plans have delivered some progress, it is nowhere near fast enough, which is why we still need unprecedented emissions cuts in an increasingly tight window, with an increasingly challenging geopolitical backdrop.
    3. We still need unprecedented cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, in an ever-compressing timeframe, amid a challenging geopolitical context.

    1. But this is no reason to surrender. It's a reason to step up and speed up.[Achieving] 1.5 degrees by the end of the century remains our North Star. And the science is clear: this goal is still within reach. But only if we meaningfully increase our ambition.
    2. Our mission is simple, but not easy: make any overshoot as small and as short as possible.

    1. Every tenth of a degree has ramifications on communities, on ecosystems around the world.
    2. It is particularly important for those vulnerable communities and ecosystems that are already being impacted.
    3. It matters in heatwaves. It matters in ocean heatwaves and the destruction of coral reefs. It matters long term when we think about sea level rise.

    1. Ambition and action are nowhere near the levels needed globally or collectively.
    2. If we don't include the US, then the progress is quite limited.
