Why a conference on climate overshoot?
The risk of exceeding the 1.5°C warming threshold is becoming increasingly real, making it more important than ever to understand the challenges of climate overshoot and explore ways to respond. This conference brings together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss how we can navigate the risks, trade-offs, and opportunities that come with overshoot scenarios.
A key goal is to contribute to a deeper understanding within the scientific and policy communities-as well as among civil society-about the implications of overshoot and the decisions that come with it. At the same time, the conference provides a space to identify critical research gaps, helping to shape the future of scientific work on this urgent issue.
