The 1.5°C Target: Is It Already Dead or Just Resting? A line graph showing the historical global temperature rise from pre-industrial levels to 2026, with projections showing current policies leading to around 2.7°C, while the 1.5°C and 2°C Paris Agreement targets are shown as distant, narrowing pathways.
