摘要

Increasingly,experts agree that the planet is poised to warm beyond the mitigation targets established by the Intergovernmen-tal Panel on Climate Change(IPCC).In their 2018 special report,"Global Warming of 1.5 ℃,"the IPCC warned that keeping temperatures within 1.5℃ of warming above preindustrial levels is critical to avoiding some of the worst impacts of climate change[1].According to the 2019 United Nations(UN)Emissions Gap Report,global emissions would need to decline by 7.6％every year between 2020 and 2030 to avoid this temperature threshold[2].
