Global climate action stalls, report warns of 2.6°C rise

noticiasaominuto.com (Portuguese) —

A report released at COP31 in Antalya, Turkey, states that global climate action has stagnated over the past five years, with progress being canceled out by negative initiatives and unfulfilled promises. The Climate Action Tracker report says the world is now heading to irreversibly exceed the 1.5°C warming limit, as projections remain unchanged despite new pledges. Even if all promises are met, temperatures are projected to rise 2.6°C above pre-industrial levels by century's end. Leaders from island nations, including the Marshall Islands' president, urged stronger action and financial support for poorer countries, with Barbados' prime minister noting that promised funds are now 70% below previous levels.
