the world has failed to meet its main #ClimateChange target of limiting the rise in global temperatures to 1.5°C, & will likely breach this threshold in the next decade, the #UN' #Environment Program said Tuesday.

The annual #EmissionsGap report said because of countries' slow action to reduce planet-heating #GreenhouseGas #emissions, it was now clear that the world would exceed the core target of the 2015 #ParisAgreement - at least temporarily.

"This will be difficult to reverse—requiring faster & bigger additional reductions in #GreenhouseGas #emissions to minimize overshoot," #UNEP said.

Lead report author Anne Olhoff said deep emissions cuts now could delay when the overshoot happens, "but we can no longer totally avoid it".

The 2015 #ParisAgreement commits countries to limit the global average temperature rise to 2°C above pre-industrial levels, & to aim for 1.5°C.

*Faster* and *bigger* cuts?! There haven't BEEN and cuts!! We're still releasing more every year, not less!
