Global warming is expected to exceed the 1.5 degree Celsius limit established as the ideal target by international climate agreements. However, according to specialists, this situation can still be contained before causing irreversible damage to the planet.

The Paris Agreement establishes as its main objective limiting the increase in global temperature to less than 2 degrees Celsius in relation to pre-industrial levels. Additionally, the agreement defines as an ideal target limiting this increase to 1.5 degrees.

Urgent climate actions are necessary to prevent warming from exceeding the limits considered safe. The countries that are signatories to the agreement committed themselves to reducing their greenhouse gas emissions to achieve these goals.
