Pacific calls for urgent climate action as latest UN report warns world is off track

Excerpt from islandsbusiness.com

BELÉM, 4 November 2025 – The latest UN Environment Programme Emissions Gap Report 2025 delivers yet another stark warning – the world is still far off track to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, with current Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) leading us towards a devastating 2.3–2.5°C pathway of warming. For the Pacific, where the impacts of the climate crisis are already a lived reality, this failure to act with urgency is nothing short of an injustice.

This latest report reaffirms what our communities have been saying for years – that while the science grows clearer, global action remains far too slow. The findings highlight the widening gap between promises made and the real action needed to keep 1.5°C alive.
