From Mitigation to Adaptation: UNEP's Big Climate Shift

As the world moves closer to exceeding the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C warming threshold, UNEP's big climate shift from mitigation alone toward greater emphasis on adaptation and resilience signals a fundamental change in how we approach climate action.
What does this mean for governments, businesses and communities preparing for a warmer world? In this episode, Rich speaks with Mirey Atallah, Chief of the Adaptation and Resilience Branch at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), about the recently released report Limiting Overshoot: Navigating Exceedance of 1.5°C and Pathways Towards Return.
Mirey explains why the report signals an important shift in climate strategy—from focusing primarily on preventing warming beyond 1.5°C to also preparing for, managing and shortening the period of overshoot. They explore the implications for mitigation, adaptation, climate finance and long-term policymaking, particularly in the Global South.
