The chance to keep global warming below 1.5°C with no overshoot is gone.

But UNEP’s new report shows that urgent action can still limit the overshoot and bring warming back to 1.5°C by 2100.

For that, global emissions must fall by 18% by 2030 and 45% by 2035 relative to 2025, alongside increasing CO2 removal throughout the century.

Current policies, however, put the 🌎 on course for up to 2.8°C this century.

There is evidence that change is possible: renewable energy and climate policies are already delivering emissions reductions. These successes must be scaled up quickly to bring the world to a point of return now.

Glaciers and ice sheets are large masses of ice that form when fallen snow is compressed and recrystallized over decades and centuries. Together, they cover approximately 10 per cent of the Earth’s land area.

While we often associate these natural wonders with the polar regions and mountain peaks, glaciers play a vital role in sustaining life across the planet. Yet they are changing rapidly.

Over the past two decades, glacier loss has accelerated, with some regions losing nearly 40 per cent of their ice mass. At current greenhouse gas emission levels, the world is on track to lose almost all low-lying and tropical glaciers, along with much of the global cryosphere.

Tackling the climate crisis requires action from governments and businesses at scale, but individual action matters too.

The way people travel, eat or use energy can help cut emissions and contribute to wider change.

Every fraction of a degree avoided matters.
