Global mean surface temperatures reached 1.2°C above the pre-industrial average in 2020, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned in its recent report that Earth could hit 1.5°C in as little as a decade.

Scientists believe that stabilizing our warming world’s temperature at 1.5°C could help avoid the most serious effects of climate change.
