## Definition

**1.5C Aligned** means that the level of ambition of \[the organisation’s\] targets to reduce [GHG Emissions](https://chancerylaneproject.org/glossary/greenhouse-gas-emissions/) and its [Climate Change Mitigation Measures ](https://chancerylaneproject.org/glossary/climate-change-mitigation-measures/)are consistent with achieving the goal in Article 2.1(a) of the Paris Agreement to pursue efforts to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 Celsius above pre-industrial levels with little to no overshoot.

**1.5C Aligned** means that \[the organisation’s\] targets to reduce [GHG Emissions](https://chancerylaneproject.org/glossary/greenhouse-gas-emissions/) and [Climate Change Mitigation Measures](https://chancerylaneproject.org/glossary/climate-change-mitigation-measures/) are aligned with scenarios that yield a long-term global warming outcome of 1.5 Celsius above pre-industrial levels \[with \[60 percent\] probability and \[no OR less than 0.1 percent\] overshoot\].
