Headline: UNCAPTIONED: UN Warns Climate Goals Falling Short as Emissions Soar

Caption: UN Warns Climate Goals Falling Short as Emissions Soar. Global efforts to combat climate change are falling dangerously short, according to a new UN report. Data reveals that greenhouse gases are accumulating faster than ever with national plans to curb emissions projected to reduce pollution by only 2.6% by 2030, far below the 43% needed to keep global warming under the critical 1.5°C limit. The UN's analysis of nearly 200 countries' carbon-cutting plans highlights the urgent need for stronger commitments. Researchers are also concerned that forests may be losing their ability to absorb carbon, contributing to record greenhouse gas levels. World leaders are expected to address this shortfall and submit revised, more ambitious plans by next spring. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
