estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions vs the amount of warming they can cause "If we want to limit warming to around 1.5°C, we must achieve net zero emissions in the second half of the century (blue line). According to all the climate pledges, scientists’ best estimate of warming would be around 2°C (purple line). Pledging countries must create climate policies to reduce emissions further. If we estimate only based on current policies, the world will not reduce emissions fast enough (orange area) and global warming will go well over 2°C, leading to worse climate impacts."
