🪸🌊 “It’s a difficult situation, but not hopeless.” Marine heat reached record highs in 2024 — pushing coral reefs to the brink. The Global Tipping Points Report 2025 warns that the die-off of warm-water reefs is now underway, marking the world’s first climate tipping point.

THIS WEDNESDAY: The Amazon plays a key role in stabilizing Earth’s climate but deforestation is edging it closer to a tipping point. Hear researchers explain the latest data, impacts, and solutions in our webinar. 🗓️ 15 Oct / 15:30-17:00 CEST Register: futureearth.confetti.events/tipping-poin...

Ahead of #COP30, a new report featuring Commissioner Tim Lenton outlines: 💡 Rapidly approaching Earth system #TippingPoints 💡 Priority interventions via #PositiveTippingPoints to drive #decarbonisation at scale Read the report: global-tipping-points.org/resources-gt... #GTPR2025

The evidence is piling up. The oceans' circulation systems risk “tipping” in a warming climate. For the monsoon systems, the scientific evidence for tipping is less clear, according to a new review article. But even smaller shifts in rainfall patterns can have widespread social and economic impacts.

The Amazon is nearing a potential tipping point, driven by deforestation & climate change. Join us for a webinar exploring the latest science on Amazon resilience & tipping metrics. 🗓️ 15 Oct 15:30-17:00 CEST 🔗: futureearth.confetti.events/tipping-poin...
