Tipping Points podcast

Published by the Grantham Institute, the first series of Tipping Points explore the stories of scientists from multiple disciplines who are concerned about the current state and future of the climate and life on Earth.

They share their personal stories, explaining what led them to be interested in the environmental and ecological crises. They discuss their opinions on public communication, politics, divestment campaigns, having children, Greta Thunberg, travel, carbon footprints, what they hope to see in the future and much more.

Meet the host of Tipping Points, Pete Knapp, air pollution scientist.
