Global warming is accelerating, and current emission trajectories would bring us to a 2.8°C warmer world by 2100. Strengthening climate mitigation ambition is therefore essential. Yet, current warming levels indicate that an overshoot of the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target, even if temporary, has become a risk that requires proactive planning.

How can adaptation strategies effectively address the escalating risks associated with higher levels of warming?

What strategic approaches are needed to cope with increasing extremes, heightened volatility, and adaptation limits, particularly with regard to vital resources such as agricultural production and water?

We invite you to join the discussion.

What If We Overshoot 1.5°C? Implications for Adaptation
