The world is on track to overshoot 1.5°C, potentially reaching 1.8°C or higher. For a doctor who has spent her career in disaster zones, those numbers translate into real consequences for people’s lives.
In this episode, Christa Beck sits down with Dr. Jemilah Mahmood, an internationally renowned physician, humanitarian, and Executive Director of the Sunway Centre for Planetary Health, at Impact Week in Singapore. Jemilah left humanitarian work because responding to one crisis after another wasn't fixing what caused them. Now she's co-designing the Global Tipping Points Conference in Kuala Lumpur, betting that positive tipping points can be just as unstoppable as the ones pushing us toward collapse.
