Positive tipping points for nature
摘要
A radical acceleration of change is needed to reach widely agreed nature-positive goals for 2030 and beyond. Triggering positive tipping points where strong amplifying feedback supports self-propelling nature-positive change can help achieve this acceleration. These include ecological, social–ecological and social tipping points that abruptly regenerate ecosystems and resources, spread nature-positive activities and reduce key drivers of nature loss. Together they have the potential to positively tip large-scale recovery of nature. Affecting key leverage points by facilitating online collective learning, properly valuing nature in economics and tipping worldviews to ecocentrism would further enable positive tipping points for nature.
