For the 19th episode of the Arqus Knowledge Pills, we welcomed an expert on “social tipping”, Jordan Everall. He is a member of the research group “Social Complexity & System Transformation” at the University of Graz. 

Social tipping processes describe how social, political, economic or technological systems can move rapidly into a new system state if cascading positive feedback mechanisms are triggered.

During the episode, we discuss his research on rapid social change and its connection to climate change. Jordan explains also how to quantify inequality and how these topics are all connected before he answers the tricky question: "Is it still possible to save the Earth?”
