## In brief

- A modelling study in Nature Climate Change quantifies human-induced warming in each IPCC AR6 region since pre-industrial times.
- Global temperatures have warmed about 1.44°C since preindustrial times, according to the sources.
- Many regions have passed 1.5°C of warming and some have passed 2°C, while the study reports all regions are close to their 1.5°C- or 2°C-equivalent limits.

## Why it matters

Paris Agreement limits are set for global averages, but this study shows what they mean regionally, which helps science readers and policymakers see where warming is already concentrated.

## Versions

- IPCC AR6

## Timeline
