Tipping towards positive social change

Join the Analysis, Integration, and Modeling of the Earth System (AIMES), the Earth Commission, Future Earth, and the WCRP Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity for the social change-focused webinar in a series that aims to advance the knowledge about tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt changes in the Earth system. The event includes two presentations on socioeconomic tipping for achieving positive change. The presentations will investigate social and financial systems. 

Presentations

• Social tipping dynamics – Ilona Otto (University of Graz)
• What are the sensitive intervention points needed to make the green energy transition happen as quickly as possible? – Doyne Farmer (University of Oxford)
• Q&A/ Discussion

The discussions will be moderated by Jonathan Donges (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research).

This discussion series aims to advance the knowledge about tipping elements, irreversibility, and abrupt changes in the Earth system. It supports efforts to increase consistency in the treatment of tipping elements in the scientific community, develop a research agenda, and design joint experiments and ideas for a Tipping Element Model Intercomparison Project (TipMip).
