The United Nations has acknowledged that Earth will exceed a safe temperature threshold due to global warming. This threshold was agreed upon in the 2015 Paris climate accord. The warming is caused by the burning of coal, oil, and gas.

A report by the United Nations Environment Programme outlines the situation and recommends limiting excessive warming and bringing the temperature back down. However, this will still result in decades of increased weather issues. Further details on the report and its findings are available, providing more information on the path forward to address global warming and its impacts.
