Current climate policies imply a high risk for tipping of critical Earth system elements, even if temperatures return to below 1.5C of global warming after a period of overshoot.

Researchers from IIASA and Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research have analyzed the risks for four interconnected core climate tipping elements.

All four contribute to regulating the stability of the Earth 's climate system.

To effectively limit tipping risks, we must achieve and maintain net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.
