UN Report Warns World Off Track to Meet Paris Climate Goals Despite Progress Ahead of COP30

A new UN Environment Programme report reveals that despite some progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the world remains significantly off track to meet Paris Agreement climate goals. With global temperatures projected to rise 2.3-2.5°C by century's end under current pledges, and a temporary breach of the critical 1.5°C threshold now considered inevitable, the report calls for dramatic emission cuts as leaders prepare for COP30 in Brazil. While renewable energy adoption accelerates, G20 nations—responsible for 77% of global emissions—must dramatically increase climate ambition.
