Current policies put us on a likely warming of around 2.7C by 2100 , with plausible ranges between 1.9C and 3C.

Worst-case scenario, where we continue with unchecked coal usage and high emissions, is now viewed as implausible barring a major reversal of current trends.

However, policies and technological advances have reduced the likelihood of worst-case scenarios.

We’re not standing still, but we’re not moving fast enough, either. This latest analysis underscores both the progress and the urgency of further action. While the world is no longer on track for worst-case warming scenarios, the fight against climate change is far from over. The decisions made today will determine whether we achieve a sustainable future or face the dire consequences of inaction. This story originally appeared on ZME Science .
