Is it too late to keep global warmingbelow 1.5 °C?The challenge in 7 charts

Global stocktake will be 197 rst time that humanit Dubai m this month ses its progress under the 2015 Paris climate agreement.

Greenhouse-gas emissions at an all-time high, tropical forests are being chopped down at near-record 1.5â , fossil-fuel subsidies are going up and coal-fir first wer stations are still being built.

At this rate, it could 2015 e Paris an a decade before global warming reaches 1.5 ÂC above pre-industrial levels.

At this point, the world has about 12 every five years umping carbon into the atmosphere to limit warming to 1.5 ÂC.

The consensus among researchers is that thereâs only one viable way to dig out of this mess. 2025 is overshoot scenario is one of the top choices of computer models that are tasked with finding the cheapest path forwards.

Electricity from renewables and other low-emission sources will need to increase by almost sevenfold to nearly 77 trillion terawatt hours annually by 2050.

Generation from coal, gas and oil must drop to almost zero by 2040, unless accompanied by technolo 1.5 Â that capture and somehow sequester carbon from the atmosphere.

Wind and solar would need to account for roughly 70% of electricity production by 2050, IEA projects. âHeading l.â âItâs Naran Sophie Boehm Gi">Naran the World Resources Institute Gi">$7 trillion Washington DC ed_highL Nature xt__NxlGi">more than $1 trillion Paris lGi">COVID-19 first "summaryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">nearly $12 trillion Paris an class="summaryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">Naran< 1.5 ° the past decade 2023 xt__NxlGi">the ne 1.4 ° decades âThe 5 Detlef van Vuuren rly $11 trillion the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency 2030The Hague class="summaryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">annually less than a decade rillion 1.5  ">London Baysa Na El Niño n> Pacific hLightText__NxlGi">the previous two years The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC cy Initiative20-year Earthâs i">2022 $1.4 trillionIPCC > 2021any given year ="summaryFeed_highLightText_ 1.5 degrees 1 trillioneach year pan c a whole decade eed_highLightText__NxlGi">Lezcano Zeke Hausfather ghLightText__NxlGi">South Berkeley Earth California _NxlGi">Brazil China Chinaâs 2.4â2.6â ="summaryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi 2100 e European Union 48 Paris n> Delay summaryFeed_h One LightText__NxlGi">the United States Paris ext__NxlGi">34 this year GW the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change mmar 1992 d_highLightText__NxlGi">China BNEF a century hLightText__NxlGi">China 1.5 ° Text__NxlGi">Lezcano three decades later eed_highLightText__NxlGi">Europe the United Sta 1.5 ° pan> a little over five years Text__NxlGi">the clean energy deployment Climate Change Tracker hLightText__NxlGi">UN âBiggest 8% _ each year he European Union 2034 an> 50% summaryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">CO2 emitter worldâs 7% span 2020 ss âWeâve aryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">China â van Vuuren _highLightT âThe _NxlGi">d delayâ the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change 1992 37% nearly a century ghtText__NxlGi">Europe 1.5 ° LightT 1997 _NxlGi">The United Statesfirst I the Kyoto Protocol n> the next few decadesabout 75 years ass= zero maryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">IPCC < about 12 years mmaryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">1.5  1.5 ° _highLightText__NxlGi">Whatâs the next few decades only one i">one 1.5  d 16% the latter half of the century mmaryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">IEA Net today 2050 one Feed_highLightText__NxlGi">more than four 2050 roughly 70% IEA âGreen 2040 almost zero the International Energy Agency 2050 annually nearly 77 trillion terawatt hours Benson 50% Lezcano firstâItâs Cleaner New York City < Sally Benson summaryFeed_highLightTex Stanford University NEF< California pan class="summaryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">Pol Lezcano 100 Gi">2023 Zero Hausfather LightText__NxlGi">IE some $22 trillion an class="summaryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">1.3 roughly 16 t__NxlGi">Fig annual class="summaryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">2022 last year ma âWeâre _highLightText__NxlGi">5% Hausfather hLightText__Nxl one >2030 first i">Paris âNegative lGi">the next few yearsParis pan class="summaryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">I IPCC span> Paris 2050 LightText__NxlGi">COVID-19 âPeak2 ° > the European Union 1.5 ° class="summaryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">the United States the next few decades s Fig maryFeed_highLightText__NxlGi">Paris one-year _highLightText__Nxl COVID-19 2030 37.2 billion tonnes r last year hLightText__NxlGi">35 billion tonnes the next few years mor one han 90% annual the International Energy Agency
