Hello everyone and Welcome to the Circular Metabolism podcast, where we have in-depth discussions with researchers to better understand the metabolism of our societies and how to reduce their socio-ecological impact in a systemic, socially just and context-specific way.

Today, we will focus on the topic of societal tipping points. Indeed, to address the current social and ecological crises, traditional policies have become irrelevant both in timeframe and impact points of view. To address these crises we need new ways to propose policies that can spark fast and radical change. To identify these actions we need to better understand the concept of societal tipping points or in other words how small and targeted changes can have disproportionate effects.

So what are societal tipping points, how can we implement them at a local and global level, and how can they help us address both social and ecological crises ?

To help us navigate these questions, I have with me today Professor Ilona Otto. Ilona holds the Professorship in Societal Impacts of Climate Change at the University of Graz. She leads a research group focusing on Social Complexity and System Transformation. Her research focuses on social dynamic processes and interventions that are likely to spark rapid social changes necessary to radically transform the interactions of human societies with nature and ecosystem services in the next 30 years.
