Overshoot Conference: What breaking 1.5°C means for climate action
About this episode
We’re edging closer to exceeding 1.5°C of warming globally, and scientists will gather to understand the implications of missing our climate change targets.
The world’s best will descend upon Austria this week for the first-ever Overshoot Conference.
It’s while Winston Peters delivered a “truth bomb” at the UN recently, singling out four countries for being the world’s largest emitters.
So, what happens if we don’t meet our climate targets?
Today on The Front Page, Victoria University climate scientist professor James Renwick is with us to delve into climate overshoot, and why we should care about it.
