Remember being young and stuck at the dinner table with boring adults? The boy in this story does. His story teaches us about the concept of tipping points and their effect on the world. Read on to find out how tipping points are shaping our planet’s future.

Our international team is proud to have contributed to the new Global Tipping Points Report that was launched at the COP 28 climate change talks in Dubai. This important effort is a call to action to prevent irreversible changes in our environment, such as the collapse of major ice sheets and coral reefs. Time is running out, so urgent action must be taken to prevent these negative tipping points from happening.

However, it’s not all doom and gloom. There are also positive tipping points that are happening right now in renewable energy, electric vehicles, social movements, and more. Our report outlines ways to intervene in these systems to trigger positive tipping points and create widespread positive change. It may sound easy, but it often involves lots of hard work and effort.
