long-term temperature goal

The long-term temperature goal is a target set by countries to limit global warming to avoid dangerous climate change. It aims to keep Earth's average temperature increase well below 2°C (3.6°F) above pre-industrial levels, ideally staying close to 1.5°C (2.7°F). This helps reduce risks like extreme weather, rising sea levels, and damage to ecosystems. Achieving this requires global efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and adopt sustainable practices. The goal provides a shared framework to guide policies and actions for a healthier, more stable climate for current and future generations.
