The United Nations climate change organization has issued a warning that the world is falling short in tackling climate change, citing only a 2% reduction in carbon emissions by 2030 compared to 2019 levels, far below the 43% required to meet the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target. With 2023 set to be the warmest year on record, the report calls for urgent action as countries submit updated emission-cutting plans. The U.N. Climate Change chief urges COP28 in Dubai to be a turning point, emphasizing the need for a “climate ambition supernova” across nations, cities, and sectors.
