Join us for a thought-provoking and vital forum exploring the findings of Collision Course, the latest report by the Breakthrough National Centre for Climate Restoration. This event will unpack the stark realities of a world shaped by 3 degrees of global warming, offering a clear-eyed examination of the profound risks to humanity, ecosystems, and the foundations of global stability.
As the planet approaches unprecedented climate thresholds, the risks intensify—not only for extreme weather events but for cascading systems failures that threaten food security, infrastructure, health, and geopolitical stability. Collision Course delves into the interconnected challenges of such a future and asks the pressing questions:
- What does life look like under 3 degrees of warming?
- How close are we to these scenarios, and what are the tipping points to avoid?
- Most critically, what actions can still be taken to alter this trajectory?
This forum will shed light on the accelerating climate risks and the bold, systemic transformations required to restore a safe climate. Combining scientific insight, policy critique, and an emphasis on actionable solutions, the event aims to inspire a deeper understanding of humanity’s climate future and catalyze the urgent changes needed to ensure safety and stability.
Whether you’re a policymaker, advocate, academic, or concerned citizen, this forum is a unique opportunity to engage with the most critical climate discussions of our time, This event will confront the uncomfortable truths about where we’re heading—and explore how we can still chart a different course.
The forum will feature David Spratt, a leading Australian climate policy analyst, advocate, and Research Director at Breakthrough. Renowned for his expertise in climate risk and policy, David will provide an in-depth analysis of the report’s findings, offering a stark look at the existential challenges ahead and the urgent need for bold, transformative action.
