Climate crisis – a race we can win. Why don’t we act? | Thina Margrethe Saltvedt | TEDxArendal

The potential global impacts of the climate crisis are slower to materialise, but much graver than those from Covid-19.

Actions to be taken are urgent!

In all these years we have known about climate changes, why have we not managed to mobilise a bold collective action to combat this crisis?

Dr Saltvedt has paid special interest to two potential explanations that can slow down the green transition; Market Failure (failure of a market to deliver an optimal result) and Path dependency. In this talk she focuses on how to move away from the dependency of the high emission path and to develop a new green path dependence – a new history - a system change that involves the whole society.

What a brave move! The sooner we become aware about going green the better it is for the earth! ♻️

There is no climate crisis. The Earth was warmer in the recent and distant past. It also warmed faster in the past.
