Balanced News: UN warns the world is ‘not on track’ to meet global climate targets

The United Nations has warned that the world is “not on track” to meet any of the long-term targets set in the 2015 Paris Agreement. The report states that countries are failing to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, adapt to climate impacts, and provide enough climate financing to developing nations. The review finds that current emissions reduction goals are insufficient, and calls for more ambitious targets and action to phase out fossil fuels and invest in renewable energy. The report’s findings will be discussed at the upcoming UN climate summit in Dubai.
