Event

Interactions & Cascades of Climate Tipping Points, 14.30-16.00


Join AIMES, the Earth Commission, Future Earth, and the WCRP Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity for a webinar on Interactions & Cascades of Climate Tipping Points as part of a series that aims to advance the knowledge about tipping points, irreversibility, and abrupt changes in the Earth system. Recent research assessed that many interactions between climate tipping elements are of destabilizing nature, leading to the possibility of climate domino effects. Nico and Anna will review the current state of literature on tipping point interactions and discuss risks for cascading transitions under current global warming trajectories.
