THE COMMISSION
"International policy-makers have been reluctant to consider approaches to reduce impacts of global warming above 1.5 or 2°C, because their focus has understandably been on avoiding that scenario. But insufficient action means these goals are slipping away. We need to consider how to reduce risks in the likely event of a temperature overshoot."
