Webinar: Overshooting 1.5 °C: the latest science on the risks and action needed
We are excited to invite you to a webinar, hosted by the EU project PROVIDE on September 8th 2023.
Munich, 01 September 2023: Climate action is accelerating, but greenhouse gas emissions are yet to peak. Our efforts peak global emissions in the next few years and then rapidly reduce these in the coming years will be decisive for our ability to limit warming to 1.5 °C.
The paths to get there are numerous – but as emissions rise, the more likely it is we will have to temporarily overshoot 1.5 °C before being able bringing temperatures back below 1.5 °C by the end of the century. The more substantial this overshoot period is, the more likely some climate impacts will become irreversible and/or tipping points crossed.
This webinar, hosted by the Horizon Europe project looking at climate overshoot (PROVIDE), will feature presentations and expert discussion on what the latest science suggests overshoot of 1.5 °C could look like, what the implications are for our planet and societies, and how this should inform climate action today.
Implications for the speed of emissions reductions, impacts and adaptation efforts, loss and damage will all be touched on, as well as expert views on untested technologies such as solar geoengineering.

PROVIDE Background
PROVIDE is a breakthrough innovation project funded with 5.9 million euros for 36 months (2021–2024) by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 framework programme. Coordinated by the Humboldt-Universität (Germany), the interdisciplinary PROVIDE consortium comprises 17 partners and combines internationally recognised scientific excellence, including experts that have served as lead authors in recent IPCC reports. This scientific excellence in climate science is brought together with leading adaptation experts including on regional strategies and adaptation costing approaches on urban modelling and planning as well as comprehensive climate services and stakeholder engagement expertise. The whole consortium is supported by the management consulting partner ARTTIC Innovation GmbH and accompanied by a Stakeholder Advisory Board.
