Are current efforts to cut emissions enough to prevent civilization-threatening climate change? If not, and if we do hit tipping points that lead to rapidly accelerating climate catastrophe, what’s the plan? ​​

 

Scientists tell us we are entering a range of uncertainty, where such tipping point scenarios could unfold at any point in coming decades. Yet just as public health experts warned governments of an inevitable covid style pandemic, the world is not preparing to prevent and respond to these catastrophic scenarios. The Climate Contingency Hub has been created to help ensure that the world builds a credible, effective, safe, just, and sustainable plan to manage near-term catastrophic climate risks.

We believe that with the right groundwork, effective, safe, sustainable, and legitimate emergency responses are possible. 

​

The Hub will work collaboratively behind the scenes to build the political will necessary to prioritize climate contingency planning, secure increased funding for critical research and development, and establish legitimate frameworks for governance and decision-making.
