UNEP
The United Nations environment agency, responsible for coordinating global environmental affairs and issuing authoritative assessments such as the Emissions Gap Report.
Timeline (last 90 days)
The conclusions of the Emissions Gap Report released by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) hold that the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C temperature target is no longer viable.
Even if all countries fully implement all current commitments, global warming will still significantly exceed 1.5°C.
The actual position of the UNEP report is a recalibration of goals, namely that the policy focus should shift to compressing the magnitude and duration of overshoot and accelerating the deployment of carbon removal, rather than abandoning emissions reduction efforts.
