#34 (online): Tipping positive change to avoid climate tipping points

By Prof. Tim Lenton, professor of Climate Change and Earth Systems Science at the University of Exeter. His research focuses on the Earth as a system, placing a focus on how life reshaped the planet in the past, and what lessons we can draw from this.

Tim summarised recent evidence regarding climate tipping points, which supports declarations that we are in a ‘climate emergency’.
Tim also showed our latest results identifying a human climate niche and projecting how it will move in the future.
Then Tim turned to identifying positive social tipping points that will need to be triggered to have any hope of limiting global warming to well below 2°C.
