UN report says warming will pass 1.5°C, but deep, fast cuts could bring it back down by 2100
Oct. 21, 2026 — Global warming is set to exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, and countries must cut emissions deeply and quickly to limit the overshoot and return below that threshold by 2100, the UN Environment Programme said in its Emissions Gap Report 2026, UN News reported. The report's lowest-overshoot path limits peak warming to 1.7 to 1.8°C around mid-century and requires cuts of 18% by 2030, 45% by 2035 and 69% by 2040 from 2025 levels. Under current policies, warming could reach 2.8°C this century, the report said.
