DESCRIPTION:The 1.5°C goal is not just a number. It is a line in the sand
 \, drawn by the international community to signal the point beyond which i
 t determines the risks to be unacceptable.\n\nWith the global temperature 
 already having increased by 1.45°C\, the World Meteorological Organizatio
 n has warned that it is likely to exceed 1.5°C above pre-industrial level
 s temporarily within the next five years. Even at 1.2°C of warming\, we a
 re already experiencing severe climate impacts: melting ice caps\, rising 
 sea levels\, extreme weather events\, droughts\, floods\, and fires. These
  changes are affecting billions of people\, particularly those in the most
  vulnerable and marginalised communities. As the planet continues to warm\
 , these risks will intensify\, potentially leading to cascading and irreve
 rsible impacts.\n\nThe members of the Climate Overshoot Commission came to
 gether to reassess a range of approaches to minimise the heightened risk o
 f overshoot\, including mitigation\, adaptation\, carbon dioxide removal (
 CDR)\, and solar radiation modification (SRM). Join the panel as they disc
 uss the Commission's CARE Agenda and how the Commission offers an integrat
 ed approach 1) to reduce the risks of breaching global warming goals in th
 e first place\, and 2) to reduce the risks brought about by an overshoot s
 hould it take place. That is why it considers all the potential tools in t
 he toolbox\, including those that were unfamiliar when the Paris Agreement
  was negotiated.\n\nPanel:\n\nKim Campbell\, Commissioner\, Climate Oversh
