In a stark warning, the United Nations says we're heading for a dangerous 3. 1°C temperature rise. The world's nations need to cut greenhouse gases dramatically, starting now. The UN Environmental Program (UNEP) says we can aim for 1. 5°C, but it won't be easy. We need to slash emissions by 42% by 2030 and 57% by 2035. If not, we'll hit 2. 6-3. 1°C this century. That means more climate disasters and economic damage. Solar, wind, and forests can help, but only if countries work together fast. Rich countries need to lead the way. Last year, emissions hit a record high. This isn't just a number; it means more intense storms, scorching heat, and huge floods. We're out of time to play safe. We must act now. The next climate talks in Baku, Azerbaijan, are a key moment. Climate scientists and activists are worried. They say we need to stop talking and start acting. We need real plans and money to fight climate change. Rich countries must help poorer ones.
