If leaders adopt high-impact low-carbon behaviour:
- others tend to follow
- leader credibility and approval sky-rockets 🚀
If leaders don’t lead by example
- leader credibility drops 🤨
- others are less likely to act

➡️Leading by example increases a sense of collective effort on climate
➡️It is not viewed as “individual” if leader motivation is trusted and they fulfil their other leadership functions (i.e. not *just* taking individual action)
➡️Leading by example appeals to most people

How and why does low-carbon leading by example work?
To find out I did:
➡️4 focus groups
➡️19 leader interviews (UK MPs)
➡️a survey experiment (n=1267)
➡️a survey of recent flyers who stopped flying for a year (n=344)

We start with a talk by SFI President David Krakauer:
"Would anyone care to guess why we're so GOOD at building transistors and so CRAP at designing drugs?"
"This thing [points to transistor] lives in a centralized system. This thing [points to cancer drug] lives in US."

"I'm going to pick on economics, because we like to do that at SFI. 'Ooh, look at that cover! So techy. Global, heat maps...' But here's 'Networks' [in the textbook]. THAT'S IT. Here's '#ComplexityEconomics.' NOTHING."

Bear in mind that (1) Last month, a study from @sthlmresilience reinforced the message that every fraction of a degree counts. Five dangerous climate #TippingPoints may have already been passed due to the 1.1°C of global heating caused by humanity to date; theguardian.com/environment/20…
... and (2) Atmospheric levels of three greenhouse gases -- CO2, methane, and N2O -- hit record highs in 2021. theguardian.com/environment/20…
Everyones heard of tipping points that are catastrophic. But there are cascading changes in socio-political-technical systems that can be positive tool!

Several people asked if I could share the slides from our #TippingPoints conference session. So I thought I'd put them up here too.
Thanks to all who took part. I look forward to working together to grow our understanding of social movements can accelerate tipping points🧵1/n

The importance of building powerful social movements with carefully targeted campaign goals came up repeatedly throughout the conference.... 2/n
Movements are a crucial to achieve social change, as it is not enough to just have evidence, or even to communicate it with compelling stories, you also need to build counter-power that can force change in the existing system 3/n

Climate tipping points (CTPs) have become a major global concern since the first major CTP assessment in 2008, which provided a definition and identified nine parts of the climate system (named "tipping elements") with potential CTPs.

pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

There have been major climate science advances since then, with improved models, observations, & palaeoclimate records helping understand how and when CTPs could occur.
Based on this, new elements (e.g. permafrost) have been proposed, & others (e.g. monsoons) questioned.

Such cuts would be hard to achieve without without drastic, economy-wide measures, the panel acknowledged. It’s more likely that the world will pass 1.5C
#JustinTrudeau never had any INTENTION of meeting 2C much less 1.5C target

Many experts say #CCS is UNFEASIBLE with current technologies, & even if it could be done it would be far costlier than preventing the emissions in the first place."

Al cierre de la #COP26, mantengo la esperanza. Sí, lo acordado no es suficiente, pero para mí es un paso adelante en la transformación del sistema. En 2009 estuve en Copenhague y el límite del 1.5 y la propuesta de #Ecuador de #DejarElPetróleoBajoTierra se sentían inviables. 1/6
Hoy,el #PactodeGlasgow mantiene vivo el 1.5, menciona por 1ra vez a los #CombustiblesFósiles y el carbón y reconoce el imperativo de duplicar el financiamiento para la #adaptación. Para mí, ese paso de ser “inviables” a ser el status quo muestra que el mundo sí está cambiando.2/6

🌍Neutralność klimatyczna Polski do 2050 to 380 mld euro - pisze @McKinsey. Raport potrzebny i ciekawy, ale poniżej kilka uwag od @paczyzak i @hetmanski_m ⬇️ #longread
(1) Po pierwsze, autorzy w oszczędny sposób wskazują na to, które z sektorów gospodarki zdekarbonizują się pierwsze - wszędzie mowa o 2050 roku, a nawet jak padają wcześniejsze daty np. dekarbonizacji ciepłownictwa,
to są one odległe o 10-15 lat od obecnej mediany szacunków. W polityce klimatycznej kluczowy jest stały postęp (#tippingpoints), a nie “załapanie się” ze wszystkimi odhaczonymi zadaniami na jakąś odległą datę.

Hi @OwenJones84 & @paulmasonnews
'We are already facing mass extinction. There is no removing the heat we have introduced into the oceans, nor the 40bn tons of CO2 we pump into the atmosphere every single year. There may be no changing what is happening'
