The IPCC’s latest update on physical sciences stated that “it was more likely” than not that temperature increases would exceed the 1.5 degree limit targeted in COP 21 (Paris 2015).

Both the US and China – the world’s largest CO₂ emitters – have committed to net zero emission targets this year, joining most other large economies which have already made similar pledges.
