We Mean Business Coalition response to UN Limiting Overshoot report

The We Mean Business Coalition emphasizes that while global temperatures are likely to exceed 1.5°C, the severity and duration of this overshoot depend on immediate actions by governments and businesses. The Coalition advocates for a priority focus on clean electricity, electrification of transport, buildings, and industry, the reduction of methane and superpollutants, nature restoration, and the strengthening of adaptation and resilience to keep the pathway back to 1.5°C open ahead of COP31.

• Global temperatures are expected to exceed 1.5°C, and each additional fraction of a degree increases the risks posed to nature, economies, and people.
• The peak temperature and the length of time the world stays above 1.5°C are not predetermined but are determined by current decisions made by businesses and governments.
• To limit damage and reduce risk, the Coalition identifies key priorities: accelerating clean electricity, electrifying industry, buildings, and transport, reducing methane and superpollutants, restoring nature, and improving resilience and adaptation.
