"For the first time, we are forced to consider the real risk of destabilizing the entire planet," says climate impact scholar Johan Rockström. In a talk backed by vivid animations of the climate crisis, he shows how nine out of the 15 big biophysical systems that regulate the climate -- from the permafrost of Siberia to the great forests of the North to the Amazon rainforest -- are at risk of reaching tipping points, which could make Earth uninhabitable for humanity. Hear his plan for putting the planet back on the path of sustainability over the next 10 years -- and protecting the future of our children.

Johan Rockström: 10 years to transform the future of humanity -- or destabilize the planet

10 years to transform the future of humanity -- or destabilize the planet

In just a decade, we've witnessed climate extremes our planet has never seen, pushing us perilously close to tipping points.

The next 10 years are pivotal: halving emissions by 2030 could steer us back to a sustainable path, safeguarding our future.

By 2030, halving global emissions to reach net-zero by 2050 is pivotal for stabilizing our climate and securing a livable future.
