Earth is set to cross 1.5C does the climate clock stop there? The UN has a plan for what happens if temperatures overshoot the crucial threshold

Global warming exceeding 1.5C is now likely, according to a United Nations assessment. The focus must shift to limiting temperature overshoot and its duration. Every fraction of a degree above this threshold increases climate risks significantly. Even optimistic scenarios project warming peaks around 1.8C before potential decline. Reducing emissions and exploring carbon removal remain crucial for managing future warming.
