Climate damage already ‘locked in’ – but these 10 insights show our future is still being decided
From rising sea levels to food systems fuelling climate change – experts have laid out 10 insights that require urgent action.
A major new study by 70 scientists from nearly 30 countries highlights that climate impacts, already "locked in" due to past emissions, depend on current actions. The 10 New Insights In Climate Science report warns that exceeding the 1.5°C threshold set by the Paris Agreement carries significant risks for oceans, glaciers, and permafrost, with escalating economic and social costs.
Key insights include the ocean's continued heat absorption, irreversible sea-level rise from melting glaciers, and increasing freshwater scarcity. The report emphasizes the urgent need for deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions to prevent further long-term heat accumulation and limit risks.
