The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) reports in its 'Limiting Overshoot' report that the world is on track for an average temperature increase of 1.8°C by the year 2100 under current policies, missing the 1.5°C target set in the 2015 Paris Agreement. [^1]

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) warned that global temperatures will exceed the 1.5°C limit established in the Paris Agreement within the next decade. [^2]

Under current policies, the projected average global warming for the year 2100 is around 2.6°C, with a range between 1.9°C and 3.6°C. [^3]

UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen stated that the world must double its efforts on climate action to avoid severe outcomes from exceeding 1.5°C. [^4]

UNEP warns that irreversible losses and permanently altered conditions will occur if action is delayed for years, potentially forcing many societies to relocate or change their way of life. [^5]

UNEP warns that without rapid adaptation, global food production could decline by up to 14% by 2050 due to climate change impacts. [^6]

In the most optimistic scenario where all Nationally Determined Contributions and long-term net-zero emission goals are met, temperatures could reach 1.8°C above pre-industrial levels. [^7]

The report projects a global food production drop of up to 14% by 2050 if effective adaptation measures are not implemented. [^8]
