What happens if the world crosses 1.5C?
A new report identifies an 'overshoot, peak and decline' pathway as the best remaining option.

🌡️ The world is set to cross 1.5°C of global warming in the next few years.
A new @unep.org report, co-authored by @richdawson.bsky.social, says we can still limit the scale + duration of this overshoot and potentially return below 1.5°C.

❓️1.5°C is one of the most recognised numbers in climate change. Where did this number come from? And what does it mean when we breach this target?
Listen to our podcast on the science, politics, and communications of 1.5°C:

"a tangible, positive impact on the conservation of giraffe” 🦒👏
Dr Ellie Harris (UEA/Tyndall Centre) has turned her research into GiraffeClim: an interactive tool exploring how climate change could affect giraffe across Africa + where they might thrive: https://t.co/5yldX395Bq
Our new report asks: Can we expand Heathrow Airport with a third runway and meet our legally binding climate targets?
❌️ On this basis, and on this evidence, a third runway at Heathrow should NOT be approved.
