In this episode of the Sustainable Ambassador Podcast, we speak with Joshua Horton about the challenges that will be faced by overshooting 1.5c, and the work he is doing at the Climate Overshoot Commission and in solar geoengineering to prevent, mitigate, and adapt to the risk of overshoot.

It's an incredible insightful conversation, that we hope will evoke a sense of urgency around the issue, but also awareness of the tools readily available to deploy against the shared impacts that will be realized.
