Read our privacy policy Global warming will likely exceed the most ambitious target set by the Paris climate agreement by around 2040, according to a draft United Nations report. In its strongest warning yet about the dangers of climate change, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that only “rapid and far-reaching” changes to the world economy would prevent temperatures from rising 1.5C above pre-industrial times. The Paris climate agreement, adopted by almost 200 nations in 2015, set a goal of limiting warming to “well below” a rise of 2C above pre-industrial times while “pursuing efforts” for the tougher 1.5C goal. “As was clear from a number of scientific studies that were published recently, there is now a lot of evidence that the risks of climate change are significantly lower when temperature increase is limited to 1.5C, compared to an increase of 2C,” said Bert Metz, fellow at the European Climate Foundation and former IPCC co-chair.
