This year, 86 percent of the weather temperature is 1.5 percent higher than that before industrialization. The United Nations says it will face the risk of global warming of 2.5 to 2.9 percent in this century.

CTOnews.com November 22, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) recently released the "Emission Gap report", as of the end of September this year, the global daily average temperature has 86 days higher than the mid-19th century level 1.5 degrees Celsius.

The United Nations Environment Programme has called on countries around the world to step up efforts to reduce emissions and adopt stronger climate action on the basis of the existing Paris Agreement, otherwise it will lead to a warming of 2.5-2.9 °C above pre-industrial levels in this century.

The United Nations Environment Programme calls for a global low-carbon transformation, with global greenhouse gas emissions reduced by 28 per cent by 2030 to keep warming below 2 °C and 42 per cent below 1.5 °C.

Un Secretary General Antonio Guterres said:

We know that it is still possible to make the goal of warming no more than 1.5 degrees a reality. This requires us to remove the poison root of the climate crisis-fossil fuels. There is also a need for a just and equitable transition to renewable energy.

As of early October, a total of 86 days had temperatures more than 1.5 °C higher than pre-industrial levels. September was the hottest month on record, during which the global average temperature was 1.8 °C higher than pre-industrial levels.

Between 2021 and 2022, global greenhouse gas emissions increased by 1.2%, setting a new record of 57.4 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, the report found. Greenhouse gas emissions from G20 countries also increased by 1.2% in 2022. Emission trends reflect global inequality patterns. As a result of these worrying trends and inadequate mitigation efforts, the rise in temperatures around the world will far exceed the agreed climate targets in this century.

If the current level of mitigation continues in accordance with current policies, global warming will be controlled within 3 °C above pre-industrial levels within this century.

By fully implementing the relevant work required for unconditional nationally independent contributions, the world will be on track to limit temperature increases to less than 2.9 °C.

The full implementation of conditional national independent contributions will lead to a warming of less than 2.5 ℃ higher than the pre-industrial level. There is a 66% chance of all three situations.

According to preliminary estimates, the global average surface temperature on November 17 was more than 2 ℃ higher than the pre-industrial level for the first time, briefly crossing the warming control threshold set out in the Paris Agreement.

"what we estimate is that the global temperature for this day is 2.06 ℃ higher than the reference value for 1850-1900 (or pre-industrial)," Copernicus Climate change Service Sam Burgess wrote on Twitter. She pointed out that the discovery was temporary.
