What happens when the world gets too hot for too long? Researchers at several institutions argue that climate overshoot will reshape risks for societies long before temperatures drift back down. ow.ly/F7za50XxEUV @wxpizza.bsky.social @climate.columbia.edu
Climate overshoot: What happens when the world gets too hot for too long?
Passing 1.5 degrees will hurt people more. It shows how climate overshoot increases risks for food, health, cities, and fragile communities.

✨ Societies are unprepared for the human costs of climate overshoot. Understanding how overshoot will affect people’s lives and livelihoods—before, during, and after disasters—must be part of climate planning, policy, and finance. ow.ly/L4LI50XtxVr @climate.columbia.edu
Societies Are Unprepared for the Human Costs of Climate Overshoot
While scientists have made progress describing overshoot’s physical impacts, its humanitarian and social consequences need greater focus, say the authors.

Can Latin America find common ground at #COP30? One of region's greatest challenges is to contest global environmental narrative—historically defined by Europe; food production sector offers best ground for joint action, says Columbia Climate School's @wbaethgen.bsky.social. Via @thebulletin.org.
Can Latin America find common ground at COP30?
Although Latin America contributes only about 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, many of its territories rank among the most climate-vulnerable on the planet.
