✨ 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.
