Scientists are warning the COP26 is unlikely to limit warming to 1.5 degrees.
Scientists say that unless the world commits to reaching net zero emissions, the target of two degrees of warming will be nearly impossible to reach.
The upcoming United Nations climate summit is unlikely to keep global warming to 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial temperatures by the end of the century.
Director of CLEX, Professor Andy Pitman, says “"The lack of deep cuts over the seven years since the target was first announced in Paris in 2015 means we have left it too late.”
