The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the international body for assessing the science related to climate change.

It was set up in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to provide policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation.

Recently, the IPCC released the first part of its Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) titled Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis.

As per the report, the average surface temperature of the Earth will cross 1.5 °C over pre-industrial levels in the next 20 years (By 2040) and 2°C by the middle of the century without sharp reduction of emissions.
This is the first time that the IPCC has said that the 1.5°C warming of the earth is inevitable even in the best case scenario.

Hence both statements are correct.
