Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's report, Global Warming of 1.5°C, an IPCC special report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty, issues an urgent warning to governments worldwide.

"The report highlights a number of climate change impacts that could be avoided by limiting global warming to 1.5ºC compared to 2ºC, or more... Limiting global warming would also give people and ecosystems more room to adapt and remain below relevant risk thresholds... The report also examines pathways available to limit warming to 1.5ºC, what it would take to achieve them and what the consequences could be."
