UN cautions world on critical warming threshold
A United Nations report states that greenhouse gas emissions worldwide remained at record levels in 2025, with projections indicating that this will lead to temperature increases of between 2.6 and 2.8 degrees Celsius this century, even if governments fulfill their climate commitments. UN Secretary-General António Guterres emphasized that current policies and national plans are inadequate, highlighting the urgent need for "immediate and rigorous" emission reductions of 18% by 2030, 45% by 2035, and 69% by 2040 to achieve the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The report predicts that if current policies persist, the Earth's temperature could rise to 2.8 degrees Celsius by 2100, increasing the likelihood of surpassing the allowed threshold. This situation is compounded by the deterioration of international efforts and weak commitments from some countries, underscoring the critical need to broadly accelerate decarbonization to prevent ongoing climate disasters.
