You’ve probably seen headlines about the world passing the 1.5°C warming limit—but what does that actually mean? 🌍
The 1.5°C goal compares the planet’s long-term average temperature with temperatures before widespread industrialisation. It doesn’t mean every day or every country becomes exactly 1.5°C warmer.
Why does it matter? As the planet warms, the risks from extreme heat, heavy rainfall and other climate impacts increase. Small changes in the global average can have large effects on our everyday lives.
UNEP’s latest report warns that warming is set to exceed 1.5°C. But reducing emissions still makes a difference: limiting how far temperatures rise, and for how long, can reduce the damage.
Here in the UK, the Met Office provisionally recorded summer 2026 as our hottest on record—a reminder that climate change affects us at home too.
Solar is one practical way suitable households can reduce reliance on grid electricity. Panels generate electricity from daylight, helping you power your home while reducing its operational carbon footprint.
Your potential savings depend on your roof, system size and electricity use. We’ll help you understand what could work for your home, with straightforward advice.
