Small island states and the least developed countries have called for warming to be brought back to below 1.5° by 2100. The 1.5°C warming limit is now under review for consideration next year by the UNFCCC.

This report analysis how the 2°C goal has affected global climate ambition and makes the case for increasing this goal to 1.5°C due to the projected increased severity of climate impacts and the required ambition to counter the speed of climate change.

While the official UNFCCC negotiations made some limited progress, encouraging developments on the margins give hope that faster progress is possible.

Limiting global warming below 2°C – or even to below 1.5°C - remains technically and economically feasible, but only with political ambition backed by rapid action starting now, the Climate Action Tracker said today.
