A Planet Near Tipping Points
Scientists warn Earth is entering a dangerous phase as rising temperatures push climate systems toward irreversible tipping points. Coral reefs are among the first ecosystems to cross this threshold.

 

Reefs in Rapid Decline
With warming already above 1.3°C, reefs can no longer cope. These ecosystems, vital to marine life and worth trillions in services, are vanishing fast after repeated mass bleaching events.

 

What Lies Ahead
Without sharp emission cuts, further tipping points—ice sheet collapse, forest dieback, and ocean current disruption—could follow. Urgent action before COP30 is critical to avoid permanent losses.
