Charlie Wilson presented a paper at the mammoth EGU conference in Vienna as part of a fascinating session on planetary boundaries, tipping points, and earth system dynamics.

Charlie spoke about how interconnections between energy, finance, social, urban, and educational systems create opportunities for interventions in one system to create cascading effects across systems.
