Current climate policy, as agreed in Paris Agreement in 2015, aims to limit increase of global
to 2 °C, and ideally to 1,5 °C. Existing proposals of countries to reduce their respective
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions would bring global warming of about 2.6–3.1 °C compared
to pre-industrial period (1). However, since none of the big industrial countries are on the track
to meet reduction goals (2), and various unproven CO2-removal technologies for climate
mitigation are being proposed (3), chances for keeping the 2 °C guardrail are extremely low
(4). Analysing the impacts of warming below 2 °C therefore needs to be understood as a
hypothetical, if desired outcome of the future.
