WHAT HAPPENED

A UN report says global warming will exceed the current limit and outlines a pathway for returning below the danger zone. The report concerns a global, long-term climate risk rather than an immediate disaster.

SO WHAT?

Exceeding the limit raises the likelihood of worsening climate impacts and increases pressure for rapid emissions reductions.
