The UN’s warning of 3.1°C global warming by the end of the century is not entirely a surprise to climate scientists and policymakers, but it underscores the urgency of climate action. Current efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are not sufficient to meet the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. The 3.1°C projection reflects a “business-as-usual” scenario where countries fail to significantly ramp up their climate pledges and actions. This level of warming would lead to severe climate impacts, including more extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and widespread ecological disruption.
