Despite global climate goals aiming to limit warming to 1.5°C, recent data shows that this threshold is rapidly approaching. With emissions still on the rise, the planet is now edging closer to 1.4°C of warming, making a temporary overshoot of the 1.5°C target highly likely. In response, a growing conversation is emerging among scientists, policymakers,
