Paris Agreement Helps Reduce Heat Days, But Urgent Action Needed to Avoid Crisis

Research shows that the Paris Agreement can reduce heat wave days, but urgent action is needed to combat climate change and limit warming to 2.6C.

• If all countries adhere to their current emissions targets under the Paris Agreement, the Earth could see 57 fewer extremely hot days each year due to limited warming to 2.6C.
• The analysis by Climate Central warns that unless fossil fuels are phased out rapidly, the world will face a dangerously hot future with increasing temperatures.
• World Weather Attribution and Imperial College London contributed to the findings, which emphasize the importance of immediate action to curb climate change impacts, particularly in vulnerable regions like India.
