The Global Tipping Points Report 2023

The Global Tipping Points Report is an authoritative assessment of the risks and opportunities of both negative and positive tipping points in the Earth system and society.  A tipping point is the point at which a small change or a series of small changes or incidents becomes significant enough to cause a larger, more important change and make a big difference to a system. A tipping point occurs when change in part of a system becomes self-perpetuating beyond a threshold, leading to substantial, widespread, frequently abrupt and often irreversible impact as well as possibilities of non-abrupt and reversible tipping points.
