The world is close to crossing a dangerous climate threshold, the United Nations warned this week, as El Niño adds to the pressure created by climate change.
Countries joined the Paris Agreement in 2015 with the aim of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The target was intended to help avoid the most severe consequences of a warming planet.
The warning places the current climate outlook against that international goal and describes the world as approaching an overheating phase.
