UN Predicts Inevitable Breach of Paris Agreement's 1.5°C Limit

• The UN predicts global warming will likely reach between 2.6°C and 2.8°C by the end of the century.
• Efforts to cap global temperature rises have largely failed, making a breach of the 1.5°C limit inevitable.
• The UN Environment Programme's annual assessment states that exceeding the 1.5°C limit is imminent and unavoidable.
• The report titled 'The point of return' highlights that the opportunity to meet the 1.5°C limit without overshoot has been lost.
• The best-case scenario involves overshooting the target but eventually reverting to it.
