Global temperatures are on track to exceed 1.5° Celsius. What does that mean — and what happens next?

This UN explainer examines climate overshoot and the question of climate justice. It looks at how rising temperatures can accelerate impacts such as melting glaciers and extreme weather, while the countries and communities facing the greatest consequences may not be those most responsible for historic greenhouse gas emissions.

Timed with the Climate Summit convened by UN Secretary-General António Guterres on 23 September 2026, this explainer unpacks a pivotal moment. Ten years after the Paris Agreement, overshoot is now considered inevitable, even as the energy transition accelerates. Leaders from major economies, developed and developing countries, vulnerable nations, and major energy producers and consumers will take stock of progress and chart a path forward — on the transition, energy security, climate justice, and protecting people from an accelerating climate crisis.

What happens when a country begins to disappear beneath the sea? Sea-level rise is already threatening coastal communities around the world, but its consequences go far beyond flooding and erosion. As ocean levels continue to rise, some low-lying States face the prospect of losing habitable territory, raising unprecedented questions about sovereignty, maritime boundaries, nationality, and the future of statehood itself. This explainer examines how climate change is reshaping not only coastlines, but the foundations of international law.
