1.5°C Paris Agreement warming limit may not be met due to insufficient CO2 removal plans, reveals new research from UEA and Mercator.
New research from the University of East Anglia, led by the Berlin-based Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change, reveals that countries' plans to remove CO2 from the atmosphere will not be enough to meet the 1.5°C warming limit set by the Paris Agreement. The study, published in Nature Climate Change, found a gap of up to 3.2bn tonnes of carbon dioxide between planned carbon removal efforts and what is required by 2050 to limit global warming.
