Tipping points do not only occur in undesirable processes. Conversely, they can be a factor in desirable developments.
Whilst human activities are pushing the planet towards negative tipping points, jeopardising the very foundations of human well-being on earth, there exists viable solutions that could keep the world on track – provided there’s robust support in policy, finance, and leadership for swift global implementation.
