Will global warming exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius?

Yes, according to a UN Environment Programme report, global warming will inevitably exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels. Decades of insufficient climate action have made this unavoidable, though the duration of the overshoot can be limited.

What is the projected warming by 2100 with current policies?

With current global climate policies in place, the Earth is heading towards 2.8 degrees Celsius of warming by the end of the century. This is a significant increase from the 1.5-degree target.

Is there a scenario where temperatures return to 1.5 degrees Celsius?

Yes, the best-case scenario projects global temperatures peaking around 1.7-1.8 degrees Celsius mid-century and then gradually falling back to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2100. This outcome requires immediate and drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
