Developed countries must also significantly ramp up climate finance to developing countries for the world to achieve the Paris Agreement’s climate goal.

The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) and Climate Analytics have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on advancing scientific knowledge on climate change in the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH).

Government announcements of new climate targets have brought down projected end of century warming by 0.2°C, with the projected warming from Paris Agreement pledges now at 2.4˚C, according to new analysis released today by the Climate Action Tracker (CAT).

Governments can virtually halve exposure to potentially lethal temperatures for hundreds of millions of people in South Asia if global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C are successful, according to a new first-of-its-kind study, published today in Geophysical Research Letters.

Risks of deadly heat stroke to millions of Hajj and Umrah pilgrims during summer could be halved if global warming is limited to 1.5°C as stipulated in the Paris climate accord compared with 2°C, according to a new study published today in journal Environmental Research Letters.

If all national governments meet their 2050 net zero emissions targets, warming could be as low as 2.1˚C by 2100, putting the Paris Agreement’s 1.5˚C limit within striking distance, according to new calculations by the Climate Action Tracker.
