The chance to keep global warming below 1.5°C with no overshoot is gone.
But urgent action can still limit the overshoot and bring warming back to 1.5°C by 2100.
Current policies, however, put the 🌎 on course for up to 2.8°C this century.

In 2022, the world committed to protecting 30% of the planet's lands and seas and restoring 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030.
At #COP17Armenia, countries are for the first time taking stock of progress towards a shared vision of living in harmony with nature.

The ocean gives us food, oxygen, livelihoods, and climate regulation.
But it’s under threat from overfishing, climate change, pollution, and habitat loss.
When our ocean is in crisis, so are we.
Protecting it means protecting life itself.

Iraq’s treasured marshlands are under threat.
But there's hope: a pilot wetland project is restoring this ecosystem by using reeds to treat wastewater, improve water quality, and support communities during drought.

More than a third of the world’s river basins had below-normal flows in 2025.
When rivers run dry, crops fail, food becomes scarce and livelihoods suffer.
As climate change makes droughts more severe, here's how countries are building resilience: unep.org/en/news-and-stories…
Current policies put the world on course for up to 2.8°C of warming this century.
That means greater risk from extreme heat, floods and wildfires.
But this future isn’t inevitable. Fast emissions cuts can limit warming and reduce risks to people and nature.

The snow leopard plays a key role in maintaining the balance of mountain ecosystems.
Yet this majestic big cat is threatened by climate change, pollution & biodiversity loss.

Exceeding 1.5°C of warming is now unavoidable.
But how much further temperatures rise depends on how quickly we cut emissions.
The new #EmissionsGap Report shows how deep those cuts must be to limit warming and make a return to 1.5°C possible.

Humanity is only as healthy as the variety of species and ecosystems, known as biodiversity, that supports us.

For the snow leopards of Central Asia, it has been the perfect storm.
Climate change, declining prey numbers and run-ins with livestock are threatening their survival.

“Opportunities to accelerate action have never been more abundant.”
@UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres calls for stronger climate pledges & wider use of proven policies as the world is set to breach the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C limit of global warming.

Over the past 10 years, renewable electricity capacity has grown 3x faster than expected.
But progress on cutting fossil fuel use, tackling deforestation and reducing methane is still falling short.

Cookware, paint and spices: many everyday items are filled with lead.
This toxic metal is linked to over 1.5 million deaths a year worldwide and disproportionately harms children, while also damaging ecosystems.

“We must pull out all the stops to minimize peak warming and return to 1.5°C by the end of the century.”
UNEP Executive Director Inger Andersen calls for urgent action to cut emissions, building on climate policies that have already proven successful.

Global warming will overshoot 1.5°C in the coming years.
There’s still a chance to bring temperatures back down, but the window is closing fast.
This is the point of return.
