GSI Seminar - Positive Tipping Points as a model of collaboration, hope, and action

Since the first Global Tipping Points Conference in Exeter in 2022, the Green Futures Network has been working with organisations and individuals from around the world to co-develop a way to bring the Positive Tipping Points framework to life for anyone working on transformative change. September 2025 saw the public launch of the Positive Tipping Points Toolkit, a free resource curated from diverse perspectives that aims to make working with systems more accessible, rewarding, and collaborative. The launch was the end of the first part of the process, and the beginning of the next part, with a global Community of Practice now in place and the Toolkit being applied in different contexts from Kenya to Sweden. This seminar will share the story of the Toolkit, including how and why so many people contributed their time and perspective to its creation, and how this co-production approach could be used to transform the impact of other research projects.

Peter runs the University of Exeter’s Green Futures Network, working to increase access to and collaboration with climate research for practitioners across government, business, community and more. His work is focused on the integration of research and data into our experiential understanding of how complex systems respond to our attempts to change them.
