Tim Lenton on the climate tipping points we can’t ignore

In this episode of Sustainable Views, journalist Florence Jones speaks to leading climate scientist Professor Tim Lenton OBE, chair in Climate Change and Earth System Science at the ‪@universityofexeter‬ and chair of the ‪@globaltippingpointsummit1541‬ initiative. They discuss what climate tipping points are, why they make conventional climate risk planning more difficult, and whether the 1.5°C target still matters. Lenton also explains where the economic consequences could emerge and offers a more optimistic perspective through positive tipping points, moments when changes in technology, markets and behaviour become self-reinforcing and accelerate the transition to a more sustainable economy. They discuss what businesses, policymakers and individuals can do to help trigger these positive changes, and whether influential companies can use their scale to accelerate climate action.
