Scientists say a 1.5-degree Celsius increase should be new goal

Climate scientists at a meeting in Inchon propose a new goal of limiting global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius, instead of the previously suggested 2 degrees, to avoid catastrophic impacts. A 1.5-degree increase would result in significantly fewer people losing their homes due to rising sea levels, preserve more permafrost, reduce water scarcity, and limit Arctic ice-free summers. These changes highlight the importance of setting more stringent climate goals to mitigate severe environmental and societal impacts.
