Event: Challenges and responses to climate change

On 14 March 2024 (18:00 - 20:00, Paris time), on the occasion of the Transitions Forum at the École normale supérieure - PSL, the Climate Overshoot Commission will host a panel discussion bringing together renowned experts to discuss the challenges and responses to climate overshoot.

Context:

Since the Paris Agreement in 2015, the international community has been committed to keeping global warming below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, with an ambition to limit the increase to 1.5°C. However, the latest data from the World Meteorological Organization show that the global average temperature in 2023 was already 1.45 ± 0.12°C above pre-industrial levels. Climate overshoot is becoming an urgent reality, with serious consequences for the planet and its inhabitants.

Event objectives:

• Share the Commission's recommendations for reducing the impacts of climate overshoot with the French and Francophone public.
• Deepen understanding of the main impacts of climate overshoot on health, conflict, human mobility, food security and water availability.
• Present the systemic changes needed in the global governance of climate change, emerging technological tools and innovative alliances to reduce the risks of climate overshoot.

With the participation of:

• Pascal Lamy, Chair of the Climate Overshoot Commission
  
• Laurence Tubiana, President and Executive Director of the European Climate Foundation
  Foundation (ECF)
• Joseph Dellatte, Resident Expert - Climate, energy and environment at Institut
