UN warns world likely to overshoot 1.5°C, sees possible path back
x/united-nations-environment-programme

The consensus remains that while overshoot is not inevitable catastrophe, it will entail decades of heightened climate risks and requires urgent, bolder action across mitigation, adaptation, and governance to keep temperatures from rising further.
