Event: Solutions to the Climate and Nature Crisis: Tipping the Balance

Solutions to the Climate and Nature Crisis: Tipping the Balance from Negative to Positive

This climate action event will bring together leaders in science, business and the media to showcase and inspire positive change. The event will open with the new Global Tipping Points Report, a comprehensive analysis of negative and positive tipping points produced in partnership with the Bezos Earth Fund. As global warming pushes humanity closer to dangerous tipping points, our only way out now is rapid emissions cuts and triggering positive tipping points.

Around the world, individuals and organisations are activating positive social, economic, political and technological shifts that are driving progress towards cleaner energy and a greener future — faster than many realise.

The panel event will take place between 4:30pm and 5:30pm CET, with a reception to follow until 8pm.
