he planet is on track to pass the 1.5-degrees Celsius limit for global warming laid out in the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement, said the incoming head of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on Thursday.

The world’s governments “have not put in place policies that are ambitious enough to allow the goals of the Paris agreement to be met,” said Jim Skea, a professor at Imperial College London who was voted to lead the UN’s climate science body this week, according to Reuters.

“That is absolutely for sure.”

The Paris Agreement, signed by virtually all of the world’s countries as a commitment to bring down greenhouse gas emissions, set a warming target of 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), and a more ambitious goal of “pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase” to 1.5 degrees C (2.7 degrees F) above pre-industrial levels.
