UN Warns World "Dangerously Short" on Climate Action, Risks 2.6C Warming

A new report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) reveals that global commitments to cut emissions are significantly insufficient to meet Paris Agreement goals, putting the world on track for a 2.6°C temperature rise by 2100. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres stated that the chance of limiting warming to 1.5°C has been lost due to inadequate action.
