Global Tipping Points Report 2023
2023
The Global Tipping Points Report, published by the University of Exeter, provides a comprehensive assessment of tipping points in the Earth system and human systems, and how they urge global change in the face of the growing threats of climate change and biodiversity loss. As the world grapples with increasing global warming and significant societal shifts, the report examines the risks and opportunities of tipping points–points where a change in a system can lead to abrupt or irreversible impacts– in the natural world and society at large. The authors aim to assess global tipping points and consider how to mobilize widespread action toward mitigation, prevention, and adaptation to urge social change that interrupts the alarming risks to the planet’s systems and promotes sustainability and justice.
The report is divided into four main sections:
- Section 1: Earth System Tipping Points
- Section 2: Tipping Point Impacts
- Section 3: Governance of Earth System Tipping Points
- Section 4: Positive Tipping Points in Technology, Economy and Society
Key resources accompany the report, including a summary report, key messages, recommendations, and an infographic. Users can also view select case studies and multimedia videos.
