Pascal Lamy, The Rt Hon Kim Campbell and others on how to govern a warming planet.

The risk of climate overshoot – that is, of exceeding the Paris Agreement goal of limiting average global warming to 1.5°C – is high and rising, and with it the risk of worsening impacts on human health, food security, water availability, social stability, and ecosystems. People worldwide would welcome a safer, cleaner, more equitable world. All countries could, and should, act now to help bring about such a world. But how does that work in a struggling global order?

This conversation considers the risks of a warming climate and the difficult, but not insurmountable, challenges the UN, EU, and other governing bodies face.

• What are the geopolitical and international security implications of the overshoot?
• How can we accelerate mitigation of climate risks?
• What role does adaptation and resilience play?
• How do we manage overshoot and how to govern experimental technologies?
