Social Drivers & Climate Change Tipping Points

In this episode, Anita Engles & Jochem Marotzke speak about the recently Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook 2023, that systematically analyzed and assessed the plausibility of certain well-defined climate futures based on present knowledge of social drivers and physical processes.It is an incredibly important piece of research, and through this conversation we not only spoke about the findings, but which stakeholders they see as critical, and what they see as their role as academics is through the engagement process.Link to Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook 2023https://www.cliccs.uni-hamburg.de/results/hamburg-climate-futures-outlook.htmlTimestamps:00:20 - Welcome to Sustainable Ambassador Podcast00:54 - Prof Anita Engels Introduction01:30 - Prof Jochem Marotzke Introduction02:30 - Cluster of Excellence “Climate, Climatic Change, and Society” (CLICCS) Background04:00 - Understanding Individuals & Institutions for Change06:00 - Biggest Insight of Research08:00 - Critical Levers for Change09:10 - Major Inhibitors to Change11:50 - Bringing Urgency to Realities of Climate Change14:00 - Plausibility to Maintain 1.5C & Preparing for OvershootAbout Cluster of Excellence “Climate, Climatic Change, and Society” (CLICCS)The Cluster of Excellence “Climate, Climatic Change, and Society” (CLICCS) will establish a long-term program spanning the range from basic research on climate dynamics and climate-related social dynamics to the transdisciplinary exploration of human–environment interactions. CLICCS will investigate how the climate changes and how society changes with it, thereby feeding back on climate. Understanding these changes, including how societies adapt, will enable us to assess with far greater confidence than before the range of imaginable climate futures. In taking on this challenge, CLICCS is guided by the overarching question: "Which climate futures are possible and which are plausible?"To learn more about CLICCS, please go to: https://www.cliccs.uni-hamburg.de/ About Anita EngelsAnita Engels is professor of sociology at the University of Hamburg.
