Global Climate Action Falls Short of Paris Agreement Goals Despite Progress

Ten years ago, countries promised to limit global warming.

Now, scientists say the Earth is heating up faster than expected.

Even though we're getting better at using clean energy like solar and wind power, and more people are buying electric cars, we're still not cutting down on pollution quickly enough.

This means the planet is on a path to get much hotter than the safe limit agreed upon.

Extreme weather events, like heatwaves, floods, and wildfires, are becoming more common and worse.

Important places like coral reefs and the Amazon rainforest are in danger.

If we don't make bigger and faster changes to reduce pollution, the world could become too hot for many people and places.
