In 2015, countries came together and formed the Paris Agreement. And in it they agreed to limit global heating to well below 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels by the end of this century, pursuing efforts to limit this rise to 1.5 That report concluded that we have already reached average global warming of 1.1

Scientists have made clear that global emissions cuts of 45 per cent by 2030 are needed to stand a chance of limiting global warming to 1.5C, yet UN analysis suggests that present national commitments would see emissions rise by 16 per cent by the end of the decade, compared to 2010.
