Temperatures are expected to rise beyond a certain limit due to coal, oil, and gas burning. This threshold was agreed upon by the world in 2015. Officials now focus on limiting excessive warming and bringing temperatures back down.

Scientists and officials recommend this approach instead of giving up. Decades of increased weather-related disasters are still anticipated. A report from the United Nations Environment Programme provides more information on the situation.

Further details are available from the report, which outlines the expected consequences of exceeding the temperature threshold and the proposed next steps to address the issue.
