The latest Emissions Gap Report 2025 from the United Nations Environment Programme has confirmed what scientists have warned for years, the world is no longer on track to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Based on current trajectories, the global average temperature will exceed this threshold before 2035, potentially within the next decade. That number may appear small, a margin too slim to matter, yet within that half-degree lies the difference between adaptation and irreversible loss. In reality, every tenth of a degree represents a shift in how humans will eat, sleep, travel, and stay healthy. From heat-induced insomnia in megacities to rising anxiety among young adults about a future of environmental instability, the climate story is no longer one of polar ice or distant islands.
