Turning to the environment now.

Global emissions must peak this year to keep 1.5 degrees Celsius within reach.

The UN Environment Program and the IPCC say,

Scientists add countries need roughly half emissions by 2030 to avoid the worst impacts.

That means faster clean energy buildouts, strict methane controls,

and fewer fossil fuel subsidies, according to UNEP and the IEA.

monitoring and accountability matter, transparent inventories, carbon budgets,

and legal targets track progress.
