This chapter explores the creation and purpose of the Climate Overshoot Commission, which focuses on tackling the risk of overshooting the 1.5-degree limit set in the Paris Agreement. It discusses the need for increased global action to prevent overshooting or mitigate its potential impacts on peace, society, and migrations.
