The Global Commission on Governing Risks from Climate Overshoot (the ‘Climate Overshoot Commission’) is an independent group of eminent global leaders who recommends an integrated strategy to reduce risks should global warming goals be exceeded. While the primary means to combat climate change should remain the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, it has become necessary to explore additional approaches to reduce risks of overshoot, including greatly expanded and accelerated adaptation measures, removing excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and assessing the risks of cooling the planet by reflecting incoming sunlight.  This session reflects on the approaches explored by the Climate Overshoot Commission after its 14-month deliberations on whether and how these additional approaches could reduce the risks of a warming climate, and launched groundbreaking recommendations and a governance strategy in September 2023.
