Even in a best-case, low-emissions scenario, where the increase in global mean temperature is limited to +1.5° C relative to pre-industrial levels, over 25% of glacial mass will be gone and nearly 50% of glaciers by number are projected to disappear.

Experts say the target of keeping global warming within 1.5 degrees Celsius of pre-industrial levels is moving beyond reach.

The group will also need to prove to the courts that governments have a legal duty to make sure global warming is held to 1.5 degrees since pre-industrial times in line with the goals of the 2015 Paris climate agreement.

The planet is currently around 1.14 to 2 degrees warmer than the pre-industrial period, the World Meteorological Organisation says.

The world is, on average, 1.2°C warmer than in the pre-industrial climate, and this extra heat is bringing more frequent heatwaves and droughts.

Under the Paris Agreement, the world governments have agreed to keep average global temperature “well below” 2 degree Celsius this century compared to pre-industrial levels.
