However, the social and humanitarian impacts of climate overshoot remain largely unknown. As we quickly approach the Paris Agreement's aspirational target of 1.5 \u00b0C of global mean temperature rise, new and dynamic climate and social realities of climate overshoot must be considered and managed. Here, we outline 5 factors influencing human and social climate overshoot impacts, describe potential post-peak behavior that would lead to varied impacts, and call for enhancing action to fill pressing knowledge, data, and policy gaps to understand the risks to human and social systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/pnasnexus\/pgaf332","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,18]],"date-time":"2025-10-18T10:22:33Z","timestamp":1760782953000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The human and social impacts of climate overshoot"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2425-7308","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrew","family":"Kruczkiewicz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Climate School, Columbia University , 2910 Broadway, New York, NY 10025 ,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre , Anna van Saksenlaan 50, 2593 HT The Hague ,","place":["the Netherlands"]},{"name":"International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation, University of Twente , Hallenweg 8, 7522 NH Enschede ,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zinta","family":"Zommers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs , UN Headquarters, New York, NY 10017 ,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Perry World House, University of Pennsylvania , 3803 Locust Walk, Philadelphia, PA 19104 ,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9066-5975","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joyce","family":"Kimutai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kenya Meteorological Department , Dagoretti Corner, Ngong Rd, P.O.
