It has been a privilege to contribute to this report as a lead author for the 16th year running.

We explicitly highlight how delays in global emissions cuts mean that holding warming below 1.5C is not possible anymore.

The pursuit of limiting warming to 1.5C, however, remains imperative albeit from above instead of from below.

We show new NDCs lower the highest global warming projections but fall well short of limiting warming below 1.5C.

In this context, this forthcoming @granthamicl.bsky.social shortfilm on the UK’s net zero journey will offer a timely reflection on how science, institutions, and politics aligned to deliver evidence-based #ClimatePolicy serving the public interest. 2/2

COMING SOON…

In 2019, the UK made history as the first major economy to commit to net zero by 2050.

But, while the science hasn’t changed, political consensus is fracturing.

We can’t wait to share our new film & to tell the inside story of the UK’s climate target

Stay tuned…

He called overshoot a test of our generation’s responsibility.

Yes - if we don't use any of it for fossil CCS and emit zero CO2 in the meantime.

You'll also have to tell me what's the latest on perfect reversability of global warming after overshoot though. :)

“This study should be a gamechanger for carbon storage. It can no longer be considered an unlimited solution to bring our climate back to a safe level.
