The incoming head of the UN climate science agency said on Thursday the world would exceed the Paris deal warming target of 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels, adding that states' policies had not been ambitious enough.
In an interview a day after being voted the next head of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Britain's Jim Skea said the organisation was "committed" to "at least a little bit of overshoot" of the long-term threshold from the 2015 Paris deal.
