First workshop explores concept and potential research directions
News and Outreach: C. Adam Schlosser
Amid growing concern about environmental and socioeconomic “tipping point” events, the MIT Center for Sustainability Science and Strategy (CS3) has launched a new, interactive workshop series aimed at advancing research discussions and collaborations to better understand, predict and inform proactive responses to their potential emergence. The kickoff Tipping Points workshop, held on February 27 on Zoom and facilitated by CS3 Deputy Director C. Adam Schlosser and Principal Research Scientist Jennifer Morris, included an overview of the concept, three flash talks on tipping points science and its potential application, and breakout sessions to identify key research challenges and opportunities.
