Ilona Magdalena Otto holds the Professorship in Societal Impacts of Climate Change at the Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change, University of Graz, Austria. Her research focuses interventions that are likely to spark rapid social changes necessary to radically transform the interactions of human societies with nature. Her work on social tipping points, human agency, and carbon inequalities pushed the research frontiers, has been increasingly reflected in public policies, and motivates many individuals and organizations to join the climate movement.
