Experts at UNEP say that the Emissions Gap Report 2026 does not abandon the 1.5°C goal. Instead it reframes the challenge: minimise the height and length of the overshoot and chart a credible return path.

Every fraction of a degree and every year avoided above 1.5°C matters for lives, ecosystems, economies and the feasibility of recovery.

Compounding the acceleration are insidious feedback mechanisms that PIK's research illuminates as potential game-changers. A March 2025 study from the institute projects that even low-to-moderate emission scenarios could unleash amplified heating over the next millennium.

In 2025, global emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels are projected to reach an unprecedented level, underscoring the widening gap between climate ambition and reality.

UNEP has found that fewer than one-third of the countries party to the Paris Agreement submitted updated climate commitments by the end of September 2025.

India’s climate action also captures citizens’ contributions including those through the activities under ‘Mission LiFE’.

UN agencies responded on Tuesday to President Trump’s executive orders ending US membership of the World Health Organization and its adherence to the Paris Climate Agreement, highlighting the massive potential negative impact on public health and efforts to curb global warming.

Countries that are the least responsible for climate change are expected to suffer the greatest economic and environmental impacts as they have the fewest resources “to adapt to its impacts.”
