#ClimateSolutions most likely to reach ‘positive tipping points’ revealed by scientists
Global shift towards clean electricity could trigger ‘cascade’ of progress, helping reduce air pollution, cut waste and revive oceans
Matthew Pearce
Thu 10 Sep 2026Excerpt: "The report, produced by the University of Exeter with the Earthshot prize, applies tipping point science to 51 priority areas across five environmental goals: protecting nature, cleaning the air, reviving oceans, eliminating waste and tackling the climate crisis.
"Smith said positive tipping points could be understood as the beneficial counterpart to dangerous climate thresholds, such as the collapse of ice sheets or the death of coral reefs.
" 'Tipping points can also work in our favour,' he said. The rapid growth of solar power, wind power and electric vehicles, as well as the recovery of some natural systems, showed beneficial change could accelerate after reaching a critical threshold.
"However, the transition to clean power is being impeded by slow planning and grid expansion, particularly in wealthier economies, and a severe lack of investment elsewhere. Africa receives less than 2% of global clean energy investment despite possessing 60% of the world’s best solar resources, according to the report.
"Research cited in the analysis suggests coordinated policies supporting clean power, transport and heating could bring forward tipping points in those sectors by between two and eight years. Progress in one sector makes the others easier by increasing demand for clean electricity, encouraging investment and driving costs down further.
"Transforming global commodity supply chains is identified as another high-impact intervention. A relatively small number of #companies, #banks and regulators control trade in commodities including #beef, #soy, #PalmOil, #timber, #cocoa and #coffee, which together drive much of the world’s tropical #deforestation."

I want a society designed around people.
Not quarterly profits.
Not shareholder value.
Not “disruption.”
Not making some tech bro with a rocket fetish another billion richer.And certainly not teaching human beings to arrange their lives around whatever algorithm happens to be hungry today.
Technology is a tool.
A magnificent one! Give me solar panels, open-source software, accessible public transport, robots doing the filthy and dangerous jobs, libraries full of knowledge, green cities, beautiful trains, community gardens, and machines that quietly make everyone's lives easier.
But the question should always be:
“Does this make human life better?”Not:
“Can we monetise it?”
Not:
“Can we automate it?”
Not:
“Can we scale it to infinity?”And definitely not:
“Can we make people click on it 47 times before they can see the thing they actually wanted?”
😌I don't want a shiny dystopia with better branding.
I want technology serving people.
Cities serving communities.
Economies serving human flourishing.
Humanity living as part of nature rather than treating the planet like a particularly inconvenient warehouse.
Build things that help us live.
Build things that help us care for one another.
Build things that give people more time to be alive.And if your business model requires everyone to be miserable so that you can become a trillionaire…
Darling.
Perhaps your business model is the thing that needs disrupting. 💅🌱
