Overshoot: Exploring the Implications of Meeting 1.5°C Climate Goal 'from Above'

The first-ever international conference on the topic of "overshoot" was held in Laxenburg, Austria, bringing together nearly 200 researchers and legal experts.

The conference discussed future temperature pathways where the Paris Agreement's target to limit global warming to 1.5°C is met "from above, rather than below", through overshoot pathways that exceed the 1.5°C limit before being brought back down through carbon removal techniques.

Meeting the 1.5°C climate goal "from above" has significant implications for climate action and the Earth's climate systems.
