The Global Tipping Points Initiative, led by Prof. Tim Lenton, is a global research and policy effort focused on understanding critical thresholds in the Earth System where small changes can trigger large, irreversible shifts in climate, ecosystems, and human societies.

It identifies both dangerous and positiive tipping points that could rapidly accelerate solutions like clean energy adoption or ecosystem restoration. The initiate aims to translate cutting-edge science into actionable pathways for government, finance and society to trigger rapid transformations toward a stable climate and a healthier planet.
