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.

When Suad returned to her neighbourhood in Gaza, she could barely recognize it. Her home was buried under debris, and the familiar surroundings she once knew had disappeared.
Across Gaza, clearing rubble is about more than removing debris. It is about reopening vital roads, restoring access for humanitarian assistance and helping communities reconnect with essential services.
With support from the Republic of Korea, Norway, Japan and the European Union, UNDP is working to restore access and create the conditions for early recovery.
Yet the scale of destruction remains immense. Sustained access to heavy machinery and specialized equipment is critical to continue this work and help families like Suad’s regain safe access to their neighbourhoods.
