A seismograph for measuring the transformation to net-zero greenhouse gas

This discussion paper introduces the concept of a "transformation seismograph" designed to detect and measure the speed and magnitude of the transition to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions before such changes are reflected in emissions projections.

• The authors propose a "transformation seismograph" as a tool to provide early warning signals of systemic change, moving from small perturbations to strong vibrations across a system until a tipping or transformation point is reached.
• The concept aims to identify measurable factors that indicate a low carbon transformation is likely before these trends appear in greenhouse gas emissions projections, with initial testing conducted on electric light-duty vehicles and electricity generation.
