The transitions required to avoid the worst climate impacts are not happening fast enough.

This report considers such nonlinear change in its methodology. Nearly a quarter of indicators assessed new technology adoption, with some already growing exponentially. Transformations, particularly those driven by new technology adoption, often unfold slowly before accelerating after crossing a tipping point. This report translates these transitions into 40 targets for 20, with measurable indicators. Limiting global warming to 1.5☌ requires far-reaching transformations across power generation, buildings, industry, transport, land use, coastal zone management, and agriculture, as well as the immediate scale-up of technological carbon removal and climate finance.
