Cultivating a climate-resilient garden

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Recent political trends are leaving many climate scientists and climate activists worried. It seems increasingly unrealistic to expect elected representatives to facilitate the necessary, science-based policies our community is so urgently calling for. One potential way out of the climate crisis is through community-led demand-side changes, but this too is difficult to imagine due to the scale of decarbonization required. The question addressed in this article is how to envisage that community-led change at scale, which is explored through the lens of positive tipping points.
