Summary
- UNEP report says global greenhouse-gas emissions may have plateaued last year.
- Without faster cuts, warming could reach 2.6–2.8°C this century.
- There is a small 10% chance warming exceeds 3.4°C on current trajectory.
- A potential overshoot of 1.5°C is possible with rapid decarbonization and CO2 removal.
- Renewables expand rapidly; 2025 emissions similar to 2024 due to lower land-use emissions.
