Time is running out to limit global warming to 1.5°C (2.7°F) above pre-industrial levels, but there are workable and effective solutions on the table, according to a new UN report on climate change. climate.

Despite decades of warnings from scientists, global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, reaching an all-time high in 2022.
