The climate crisis has reached a point of no return with devastating consequences now inevitable. Global warming is pushing the planet to the brink as every one of the last 10 years has been the hottest in recorded history. The 1.5°C threshold will be overshot, triggering catastrophic impacts including epic floods, fires, heatwaves and the destruction of marine ecosystems.
While the 1.5°C target faces temporary overshoot, returning to this goal by century's end remains achievable with immediate course correction. The focus must shift to making any overshoot as brief and minimal as possible to avoid tipping points. Indigenous communities offer essential guidance as the best guardians of nature, providing crucial wisdom for achieving harmony with the environment.
