We are on track for 3°C warming by the end of the century. Under such a pathway, 92% of all 16-year-old children alive today are expected to live in a 2°C warmer world and 4% will experience a 3° warmer world.

This report estimates this sea-level rise commitment and find that pledged emissions until 2030 lock in one metre of sea-level rise in the year 2300.

This study reviews the climate change–impact literature and provides evidence of the impacts of warming at 1°, 1.5°, and 2°C—and higher—for the physical system, ecosystems, agriculture, and human livelihoods.

Europe, North America and parts of Asia can expect not just more intense but also longer lasting periods of heat, drought and rain during summer as the planet warms, worsening impacts on health and agriculture.
