CLIMATE CODE RED: The case for a sustainability emergency
Climate policy is characterised by the habituation of low expectations and a culture of failure. There is an urgent need to understand global warming and the tipping points for dangerous impacts that we have already crossed as a sustainability emergency, that takes us beyond the politics of failure-inducing compromise. We are now in a race between climate tipping points and political tipping points.
Incorporates:
* The big melt: lessons from the Arctic summer
* Target practice: how far should emissions be cut?
