It is important to act with speed to keep the overshot of the 1.5˚C limit as small as possible
It is almost certain now that the long-held 1.5˚ C limit for global warming, the line that should not be crossed to avoid catastrophic changes in climate and damage to ecosystems, will be reached as soon as the mid-2030s.

The governments will have to make hard decisions — primarily about the use of fossil fuels, and where money gets invested. Public and private finance flows for fossil fuels still outweigh those for climate adaptation and mitigation.emissions from existing fossil fuel infrastructure without additional abatement will exceed the remaining carbon budget for 1.5°C.
