Zero: The Climate Race

Does it matter if the world breaches 1.5C for a single year?


Listen Later

This week a new report was released by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) that says we are likely to exceed 1.5C of warming for a single year at some point in the next five years. It’s a big deal for many reasons, especially because limiting global warming to within 1.5C of pre-industrial temperatures is a key goal of the Paris Agreement.

In this bonus episode of Zero, Akshat Rathi and Oscar Boyd talk about what the WMO report says and why it matters.

Read more about the WMO report: 

  • Breaching 1.5C threshold temporarily in next five years ‘more likely than not’
  • Climate pledges reach threshold to keep warming below 2C
