Global Tipping Points Report 2025
In the lead up to COP30, the Global Tipping Points Report 2025 was released. A report that synthesises the latest research on tipping points from over 150 authors and more than 80 institutions around the world.
The report presents knowledge on how to govern Earth system tipping points, the risks they pose, and the opportunities presented by understanding and acting on positive tipping points. Read a short excerpt from the report below and visit the link above to read the report.
“The world has entered a new reality. Global warming will soon exceed 1.5°C. This puts humanity in the danger zone where multiple climate tipping points pose catastrophic risks to billions of people. Already warm-water coral reefs are crossing their thermal tipping point and experiencing unprecedented dieback, threatening the livelihoods of hundreds of millions who depend on them. Polar ice sheets are approaching tipping points, committing the world to several metres of irreversible sea-level rise that will affect hundreds of millions.”
