Solar and wind already crossed tipping points in major markets

3 Sep 10 · 14d ago · 1 post · 1 source · development 3 of 3

The report documents that solar and wind power have already crossed positive tipping points in many major markets, with growing deployment reducing costs, attracting investment, and driving further expansion. Smith explains that positive tipping points are the beneficial counterpart to dangerous climate thresholds like ice sheet collapse.

“Tipping points can also work in our favour. The rapid growth of solar power, wind power and electric vehicles, as well as the recovery of some natural systems, showed beneficial change could accelerate after reaching a critical threshold.”
