Most developed countries are still lagging far behind plans to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, as agreed by the United Nations. This has been said in the report of 'Paris Equity Check', a website that monitors climate change developments.

 

Aim to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C

The 'Paris Equity Check' assesses countries' contribution to helping achieve the global goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C above the pre-industrial average. Countries hope that limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C will avoid the worst effects of climate change.

 

The temperature has increased by about 1.1 degree Celsius

The global surface temperature has increased by about 1.1 °C compared to pre-industrial times (1850–1900). It is considered to be the main reason behind the incidents of drought, forest fires, and floods all over the world. According to the website, countries such as the US, Canada, Australia, Germany, and Spain are lagging far behind the set target. Countries can implement the Paris Agreement's ambitious targets by reducing emissions domestically and helping other poorer countries reduce emissions at a lower cost, said Yann Robbieu du Pont, the website's principal researcher.
