New studies show net zero isn’t enough. Stabilizing long-term climate risks may require centuries of net-negative CO₂ emissions. Even at 1.5°C, impacts like sea-level rise can keep worsening. Bottom line: net zero is a milestone, not the endpoint: iiasa.ac.at/news/mar-2026/… @NatureComms @IOPenvironment
