Every year countries pledge to cut their greenhouse gas emissions in an effort to curb the impacts of climate change.
But still global temperatures keep rising.
Just last month, scientists announced that average global temperatures would likely pass the 1.5C threshold for the first time in the next five years. As temperatures rise the world will see more devastating heatwaves, wildfires and floods.
The question now is whether the world can stop at 1.5C.
On Monday, countries meet for the Bonn climate conference, to discuss their pledges and look ahead to the next big UN climate conference, COP28, which opens in Dubai in November.
