The Paris Agreement, a global commitment to combat climate change, calls for limiting global temperature increases to below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with an even more ambitious target of 1.5°C if possible. It is widely recognized that surpassing the 1.5°C threshold could result in severe and irreversible climate impacts. To stay on track for a 1.5°C trajectory, scientists have determined that global emissions must be halved by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050.
