The new UNEP report is out with the latest estimates of 2100 warming outcomes under current policies, NDCs, and net-zero targets. Here is how it compares to both the IPCC scenarios and other estimates (CAT and IEA, who will release their own updates soon!).

1️⃣After tough negotiations, EU environment ministers agreed on their position to amend the EU Climate Law — including a 2040 intermediate target toward climate neutrality by 2050. A hard-fought compromise, and the details show it. 🧵
