Description

Global Tipping Points is led by Professor Tim Lenton from the University of Exeter with the support of more than 160 researchers from over 87 organisations in 23 countries. The report explores the governance of Earth system tipping points, associated risks, and how positive tipping points may be triggered to promote rapid, nonlinear change to a just and sustainable future. The report also includes four case studies of tipping points: the Amazon rainforest, Atlantic Ocean circulation, warm-water coral reefs and mountain glaciers: Áak'w T'áak Sít' (Mendenhall Glacier).
