Climate change projections remain unchanged for third year in a row
For the third consecutive year, climate change projections remain unchanged, with Earth expected to warm by 2.7 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial times. Recent emissions trends in China and the U.S. may worsen this outlook. The analysis from Climate Action Tracker indicates that global emissions continue to rise, despite international efforts. The report highlights that China's emissions are peaking higher than expected, while potential U.S. policy changes could add to warming projections. At the ongoing UN climate talks in Baku, discussions focus on financial aid for developing nations. A coalition is requesting $1.3 trillion annually, while experts estimate that about $1 trillion is needed for climate adaptation and decarbonization efforts.
