UNEP Limiting Overshoot Report: 1.5°C warming overshoot is now ‘unavoidable’ 
In September 2026, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) released its latest report titled “Limiting Overshoot: Navigating exceedance of 1.5°C and pathways towards return”, exploring the risks and impacts related with higher levels of warming.

• The report highlighted that the world is now mostly likely to “overshoot” or temporarily breach the global warming temperature threshold 1.5°C above preindustrial temperatures within the  next few years.

Key Findings:
Global Temperature: The report further  projected that global surface temperature is expected to peak at about 1.8°C above pre-industrial levels even under an “optimistic scenario”.
It further projected that with current global policies, the global temperature is expected to reach 2.6°C by 2100.
Irreversible Tipping Points: The report highlighted that some impacts from  temporary breach  of 1.5°C will be irreversible even if global temperatures decline.
Compounding Damage: The report cited that every additional 5 years of sustained high emission could possibly add approximately 0.1°C to peak warming.
