The first tipping point of 1.5% above industrial global temp is likely to be hit around the mid 2030s. Even with the big polluters slowing/reversing in the coming years, it is unlikely we can halt that, and that will cause more extreme, widespread and intense heatwaves, droughts, heavy rainfall, and storms will become more frequent and intense, increasing risks of wildfires, floods, and water shortages globally. . But if that continues to 2%, that is when we have to deal with all of the above plus:
-Greater sea level rise: Melting ice sheets and glaciers will accelerate, causing higher sea level rise with increased flooding, coastal erosion, and displacement of millions, especially in low-lying coastal and island regions.

-Ecosystem collapse: Many ecosystems will face critical thresholds leading to widespread biodiversity loss, including dieback of forests, coral reef bleaching and mortality, and extinction of vulnerable species.

-Food and water security threats: Crop yields in many tropical and subtropical areas will decline further due to heat stress and disrupted rainfall, while fresh water availability will worsen, heightening risks of hunger and conflict.

-Increased health risks: Heat-related illnesses and deaths will rise substantially, with greater spread of vector-borne diseases and worsening air pollution impacts on respiratory health.

-Amplified social and economic disruption: The costs of disaster recovery, migration, infrastructure repair, lost productivity, and health treatment will surge, straining governments and societies around the world.

-Higher risk of crossing irreversible tipping points: 2°C warming greatly increases the likelihood of triggering large--scale, irreversible changes such as collapse of major ice sheets and permafrost thaw, which could further accelerate warming

And when is the 2% increase likely to be reached if we continue at the rates before the current gradual slowdown of the last two years?
Between 2040 and 2060.
