The UN confirms the advance of global warming and warns of growing risks.
The planet is about to surpass the critical limit of 1,5°C of global warming, according to a report released in November 4th, 2025 by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).
The document reinforces that, despite the promises made in 2015 Paris AgreementThe slow pace of emissions reduction puts the world on a dangerous trajectory.
This scenario results in increasingly severe climate impactswhich can directly affect millions of people and ecosystems across the planet.

Insufficient action and the advance of warming.
In the "Emissions Gap 2025", Global climate action falls short of what is needed..
This indicates that the planet must temporarily exceeding the 1,5°C limit in the next decadeThis is a cause for concern among scientists and environmental authorities.
This overtaking, according to UNEP, It will be difficult to reverse., requiring faster and more intense reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
A lead author of the study, Anne Olhoff, highlighted that "Deep cuts in emissions may slow the temperature rise, but not prevent it completely.".
She also stated that the lack of urgency from the countries with the highest emissionsespecially in the last two decades, increased the risk of climate collapse.
Paris Agreement targets under pressure
O Paris Agreement, signed on 2015, determined that the countries limit the increase in average global temperature to 2°CWith the ideal target of 1,5°C.
However, UNEP states that, even if current commitments are fully met, the planet It will still face warming of 2,3°C to 2,5°C. until the end of the century.
Although this prediction is 0,3°C lower than in 2024, It still represents an alarming scenario..
This shows that The new mitigation plans were not enough to close the climate gap..
The China, the world's largest CO₂ emitter, promised to reduce its emissions by 7% to 10% by 2035..
However, Experts consider these goals modest in the face of the seriousness of the global environmental crisis..
COP30 and the need for rapid responses
On the eve of COP30, which will occur in November 2025 in Belém (PA)The new report increases the pressure on governments.
The authorities need to finance and implement immediate actions combating global warming and accelerating decarbonization policies.
The Paris climate goals were established based on solid scientific studies.
These studies link the temperature increase to more intense heat waves, prolonged droughts and devastating forest fires.
According to UNEP, 2°C heating they would expose more than double the world's population to extreme heat, compared to the scenario of 1,5°C.
We also pack any At least 70% of coral reefs would disappear. at this level, against 99% with a 2°C increase.
Emissions continue to rise and put targets at risk.
even though specific advances since the signing of the agreement, the CO₂ emissions continue to grow.
They are driven by the burning of coal, oil and gas, used to support the economies of major powers.
According to UNEP data, Global emissions increased by 2,3% in 2024., reaching 57,7 gigatons of CO₂ equivalent.
This number represents a historic record and reinforces the disconnect between climate commitments and effective actions.
There ten yearswhen the Paris Agreement was signed, The planet was heading towards a 4°C increase. until the end of the century.
Since then, There has been some progress., but still insufficient to contain the climate emergency.
Global challenge to limit warming
In summary, the UNEP 2025 report makes it clear that The world is failing to deliver on its most important climate promise..
Without immediate and coordinated action, The 1,5°C target will become not only unattainable, but irreversible..
Thus, Global leaders at COP30 will face one of the greatest challenges in history..
They will need Balancing economic growth and preserving the planet., ensuring a secure future for the next generations.
Is it possible for humanity to still stop this race against time?
