"Restraint of global heating is possible if all measures taken

For the first time, the world is in a position to limit global warming below 2 degrees centigrade, according to the first in-depth analysis of the net zero pledges made by nations at the UN COP26 climate summit in December. 

Before these pledges, a temperature rise above 2 degrees centigrade was almost inevitable, bringing more severe effects for billions of people. 

Now it is more likely that the peak rise will be about 1.9 degrees centigrade. However, the researchers said this depended on all nations implementing their pledges on time and in full, and warmed that the politics to do that were not in place. The pledges include some that developing countries have said will happen only with more financial and technical support."
