The UN's environment agency has released the damning report on the world's failure to reduce carbon emissions in any meaningful way. The failures of multiple countries means that there has been no curb on the worst impacts of the climate crisis. Progress was slammed as 'woefully inadequate' as the report looked at the massive gap between the CO2 cuts pledged or promised, and the cuts needed to limit a global temperature rise to 1.5C - the internationally agreed target to try and limit the impact of climate change. The report pulled no punches and said the international community was falling far short of previous goals. It added that the world would face disaster unless "urgent system-wide transformation" was implemented. Policies currently in place would lead to around 2.8C temperature rise, the report claims ( POOL/AFP via Getty Images) It was previously hoped the 1.5C target would limit the impacts of global warming but the new report, the 13th of its kind, has rubbished claims countries are getting anywhere close towards it. The updated pledges made at COP26 were found to make a "negligible difference" and the world was far from the Paris Agreement goal. Policies currently in place would lead to a 2.8C temperature rise by the end of the century, instead of the aimed 2C - or preferably 1.5C - rise. On top of that, current pledges would only push this down to between 2.4-2.6C - which would still lead to catastrophic weather events around the world. A rise of 1C to date has alrea){kind=link}
