Briefings

Recent research identifies several Earth systems capable of abrupt climate shifts once warming exceeds critical thresholds. The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, the Amazon rainforest, coral reefs, and major ocean currents are highlighted as potential tipping points. This study focuses on systems containing potential climate tipping points, noting that parts of Earth's climate system can change abruptly once warming pushes them beyond critical thresholds.

Key points

• The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are identified as systems containing potential climate tipping points alongside the Amazon rainforest, coral reefs, and major ocean currents.
