UN report maps a path to reverse 1.5°C warming breach
A new UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report warns that global warming will exceed the 1.5°C limit and sets out an ‘overshoot, peak and decline’ pathway to bring temperatures back below the danger zone. The strategy aims to hold the peak temperature as low as possible and then pull it back under 1.5°C. UNEP terms this the ‘best remaining option’ given current emission trends.
