#ClimateChange - Emissions Gap Report 2026 - "'Every additional fraction of a degree and additional year of warming above 1.5°C increases climate impacts and risks, such as the deadly floods, heatwaves and wildfires that have plagued many nations this year,' said Inger Andersen, Executive Director of UNEP. 'So, we must pull out all the stops to minimize peak warming and return to 1.5°C by the end of the century. This is possible.' [...] The report finds that if current policies continue, warming could reach 2.8°C within this century and increase thereafter." - UN Environment Programme #UNEP https://www.unep.org/en/news-and-stories/press-release/new-unep-report-lays-out-emission-cuts-needed-return-15degc
