ONU: Fereastra pentru menținerea încălzirii globale sub 1,5°C s-a închis

The UN warns that global greenhouse gas emissions must decrease by 18% by 2030 to avoid worsening climate change. A new UNEP report indicates that the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C is no longer achievable without a temporary overshoot. Despite high fossil fuel consumption, emissions have not significantly increased. UNEP's executive director emphasizes the need for rapid emission reductions to mitigate climate impacts. Current government commitments may lead to a temperature rise of 2.6°C, highlighting the gap between promises and actual policies. The report stresses the urgency of addressing emissions, particularly methane, to limit global warming effects.
