U.N. Report Says World Could See 3.1°C Warming by 2100 Without Urgent Action on Climate

HeadlineOct 25, 2024

The United Nations Environment Programme warns that without dramatic cuts to greenhouse gas emissions, the world will face an inevitable and catastrophic temperature rise of 3.1° Celsius by the end of the century. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres issued a stark warning as he announced the findings.

Secretary-General António Guterres: “The message of today’s Emissions Gap Report is clear. We are teetering on a planetary tightrope. Either leaders bridge the emissions gap, or we plunge headlong into climate disaster, with the poorest and most vulnerable suffering the most.”
