           I am at the Overshoot Conference addressing exceedance of 1.5ºC warming hosted by @IIASAVienna in Austria. My keynote address at the opening highlighted how @IPCC_CH will be approaching this topic and related themes covered at the conference in our next assessment.

             It was a full house for my lecture @HelsinkiUni with a focus on what science is telling us about #ClimateChange and the tools available to reduce emissions. I also had the pleasure to meet with Uni’s Chancellor @KaarleHameri.
