COP28 SilverLining Reception: Intergenerational Dialogue on Near-term Climate risk and Intervention

As 2023 is on track to be the warmest year on record with resultant escalating risks, stakeholders are beginning to explore climate interventions as potential means to mitigate the likelihood of, and risks associated with, overshooting the 1.5°C target. SilverLining hosted a dialogue among renowned climate scientist Piers Forster, Chair of the UK Climate Change Committee and Director of the Priestley International Centre for Climate at the University of Leeds, and climate intervention experts Sarah Doherty of the University of Washington and Kelly Wanser of SilverLining, young climate leaders, and other stakeholders, for an open, intergenerational dialogue. The discussion focused on new findings regarding the severity of the risks of near-term climate change and the realities of potential rapid climate interventions, placing the voices of young people at the center of the conversation.
