Climate Action Tracker Maps 2.7C Warming by 2100

Buzzline

Climate Action Tracker's current-policy analysis points to about 2.7C of warming by 2100, up from 2.6C in last year's assessment. That level would exceed the 1.5C threshold agreed a decade ago; even if every pledge and target were met, the world would still reach 1.9C. The findings came as countries gathered in Antalya, Turkey, for UN climate talks without the United States. The report also notes that clean-energy investment is now double fossil-fuel investment, while the video outlines the figures and what experts say governments must do.
