Positive Tipping Points: How to Fix the Climate Crisis
Podcast
23-10-2025
Tim Lenton
Hear from Prof. Tim Lenton OBE, as we explore the potential of positive tipping points in accelerating the transition to a net-zero economy.
What happens when the conversation about climate change shifts from avoiding disaster to unlocking positive change? Suddenly, it’s not just about risk - it’s about momentum. Because while some systems may be close to dangerous tipping points, others – like clean energy, electric transport, and sustainable food – are tipping in the right direction.
That’s why in this episode, we explore how to accelerate those positive shifts, including:
- How smart policies can trigger widespread, self-reinforcing change across economies and societies;
- Why leveraging social norms and human behavior is just as critical as investing in technology;
- And what it takes to create the tipping points that move us toward a stable climate, not away from one.
