Washington, D.C.-- Today, the United Nations climate body announced that despite climate commitments released to date by the 191 nations in the Paris Agreement, the world is on track to catastrophically warm by more than 2.7 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. This far exceeds the limit put forth by the IPCC to limit warming by 1.5°C, and follows on the IPCC’s most recent findings that even if the world cuts all carbon pollution in half by 2031 and invests in clean energy solutions that completely end all carbon pollution by 2050, we are already locked into the climate crisis for at least the next three decades, with the full severity of the crisis yet to be determined.
