The second Overshoot Conference will take place on 24–25 November 2026 at Tsinghua University in Beijing, co-organised by Tsinghua University and IIASA. Building on the first edition in Laxenburg, Austria, in 2025, it brings together leading experts, policymakers and stakeholders from China and around the world to examine climate overshoot from a broad range of perspectives. With temporarily exceeding 1.5°C now increasingly likely, understanding the risks of overshoot, and how to limit its peak and duration, has never been more urgent. This podcast series by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) explores the challenges, trade-offs and opportunities involved in tackling overshoot. The first nine episodes previewed the themes of the 2025 conference. The new episodes look ahead to Beijing, with the conference chairs and theme chairs sharing insights from their fields and introducing the questions that will shape discussions at this year's conference.

    Episode 10: The Overshoot Conference goes to Beijing, with Carl Schleussner and Deliang Chen

    The series returns as the Overshoot Conference enters its second edition. Conference chairs Carl-Friedrich Schleussner (IIASA) and Deliang Chen (Tsinghua University) introduce the Beijing conference, taking place 24–25 November 2026 at Tsinghua University and co-organised by Tsinghua and IIASA. Since the first edition at IIASA in 2025, temporarily exceeding 1.5°C has moved from a scenario to a likely reality. The Beijing edition builds on that foundation. The program also opens new ground, with two new themes: Technological solutions for decarbonization and negative emissions and Health implications of overshoot pathways. We ask: What has changed since the first conference? Why Beijing, and why now? And what can a stronger exchange between Chinese and international researchers bring to the science, policy and practice of overshoot? This episode kicks off a new series. Over the coming episodes, the theme chairs will introduce the two new themes joining this year’s conference. Subscribe so you don’t miss them.
