The risk of deadly floods and fires is increasing. The country is heading towards significant warming, warns the UN.
The UN Environment Program warns that global temperatures could rise by 2.8°C by the century's end due to current climate policies. Even if countries meet their climate commitments, a 2.6°C increase is expected. The Paris Agreement aims to limit warming to 1.5°C, but experts believe this target will not be met. António Guterres emphasizes the need to minimize the duration of any temperature exceedance. Recent data shows that average temperatures have already surpassed the 1.5°C threshold for the first time between 2023 and 2025.
