UNEP: 1.5C limit overshoot now inevitable after decades of insufficient action

UNEP states that a temporary breach of the 1.5C warming limit is now inevitable, citing decades of insufficient climate action. This marks a formal acknowledgment that the Paris Agreement's aspirational goal will be exceeded, shifting the policy baseline from prevention to adaptation and loss management. The statement is a high-level institutional assessment, not a new scientific finding, but it consolidates the consensus that current emissions trajectories are incompatible with the 1.5C target.
