The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) issued a report on Wednesday stating that Earth will soon exceed the 1.5°C warming threshold agreed upon in the 2015 Paris climate accord. [^1]

The report envisions a future where global temperatures pass 1.5°C within the next few years, follow a hump-shaped path of more warming, peak, and then gradually cool to below the 1.5 mark, ideally by the end of the century. [^2]

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres stated that humanity is speeding past the limit to avoid climate catastrophe. [^3]

UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen stated that the 1.5-degree limit is still the goal but that the world must now approach it differently from above. [^4]
