This meeting is a ‘call to action’ to form an alliance to improve warnings of the proximity of catastrophic climate tipping points and to accelerate positive tipping points to avert the climate crisis. Speakers will be from academia, industry, government, and Third Sectors.

Speakers confirmed include Speakers include W. Brian Arthur, Santa Fe Institute, Patricia Pinho, Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM) and Keywan Riahi, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA).

Over three days participants will go on a journey from facing up to the risks from climate change tipping points to being empowered by the opportunities in triggering positive social tipping points.

Key themes are:

  • Climate tipping points risks and how to manage them
  • Interacting tipping points across climate, ecological and social systems
  • Identifying positive tipping points across sectors and societies
  • How to trigger positive tipping points

Additional themes include:

  • How to advance modelling of climate tipping points?
  • How to prepare for scenarios in which tipping point impacts threaten the transition?
