Governing the (temporary) climate overshoot and carbon dioxide removal
The global climate continues to warm, with the risk of exceeding the climate target temperature of 1.5 increasingly likely. This exceedance, and possible return later, is called (temporary) overshoot in the climate change mitigation literature. This session discusses the science and governance challenges of (temporary) overshoot, the projected net-negative emissions after net zero, and the role of carbon dioxide removal (CDR).
