"It’s unusual for researchers who study our catastrophically changing climate
to use the words “optimism” and “climate change” in the same sentence.

As an Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) lead author and a
climate communication researcher, we well understand how grave the climate
situation is. The science projections tell us we’re not on track to stay under
the Paris Agreement’s 2℃ target. Our planet’s biodiversity and oceans are in
peril. And if we reach climate tipping points, we’ll have little ability to
mitigate runaway climate change.

But what if we were to come to a tipping point for climate action?"
