The UN warns that the world is on track for around 2.7-2.9 degrees Celsius of warming by 2100, exceeding the 2-degree threshold. Despite some progress in climate policies and low-carbon energy, greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, posing a significant risk to humanity. Scientists caution that without political and economic system change, billions could die or face extinction by 2041-2060, emphasizing the urgency ahead of COP28 conference.
