European Environment Agency’s Post

⏰ We are reaching the limits of what the Paris Agreement set out to avoid. The latest data show that greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere are now very close to the level compatible with keeping global warming below 1.5 °C. In simple terms: the buffer is almost gone. This does not mean 1.5 °C is already lost. But it does mean that every delay makes the task harder, more expensive and more disruptive — for people, economies and nature. Rapid and sustained emission cuts are no longer a future ambition. They are a present-day necessity. #ClimateChange #ParisAgreement #1point5 #ClimateAction #ScienceBasedPolicy
