SR1.5 (Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C)

The SR1.5 is a detailed report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that examines the impacts of global warming reaching 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. It highlights that limiting warming to 1.5°C is crucial for reducing severe climate impacts like extreme weather, rising sea levels, and loss of ecosystems. Achieving this requires rapid, large-scale cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, mainly by shifting to renewable energy, improving efficiency, and protecting forests. The report underscores that while challenging, limiting warming to 1.5°C is still possible with immediate, concerted global action.
