Earth's temperature to rise 1.5C as early as 2030 amid UN warnings
Shares
A U.N. report says temperatures are likely to rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius between 2030 and 2052 if global warming continues at its current pace and if the world fails to take rapid and unprecedented measures to stem the increase.
The U.N. intergovernmental panel on climate change IPCC met last week in Incheon, South Korea to finalize the report, prepared at the request of governments in 2015 when a global pact to tackle climate change was agreed.
The report is seen as the main scientific guide for government policymakers on how to implement the 2015 Paris agreement.
