flag UN warns 1.5°C climate target is at risk due to delayed action and insufficient emissions cuts.

flag UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned that the global goal of limiting climate warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels is at serious risk of failing, citing delays in countries submitting stronger climate action plans. flag He stressed the urgent need for drastic emissions cuts, noting that current efforts fall short, with major economies slow to finalize updated commitments due to geopolitical tensions and global crises. flag The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change projects a 50% chance of reaching 1.5°C warming between 2030 and 2035, and the UN confirmed 2024 was the hottest year on record. flag Guterres called for renewed international cooperation ahead of COP30, urging nations to align their plans with the Paris Agreement’s target to avoid worsening climate impacts.
