Climate tipping points like a potential AMOC collapse pose serious global threats. Yet they’re still missing from national security agendas.

Join the discussion as experts unpack the science, the stakes, & the critical policy responses needed now.

There are systemic risks for the planet in the food system: contamination of land & water, surplus greenhouse gas emissions, excessive food waste.

For #StopFoodWasteDay, we wanted to share our 2024 webinar, ‘Accelerating transformation with positive food system #TippingPoints’.
