Widespread coral reef die-off marks the world’s first climate tipping point, according to a new report by 160 scientists.
The Global Tipping Points Report 2025 highlights mounting risks across Earth’s systems, from melting glaciers and ice fields to slowing ocean currents, ice sheets and rain forests under pressure.
The report was led by the University of Exeter with contributions from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and 85 other institutions.
“We have more and more evidence for tipping points in all these different systems”, warns PIK scientist Sina Loriani, who has co-led a new, updated section on the latest state of science on Earth system tipping points. “There is an increasing risk that we kick off feedback loops that amplify and accelerate changes in the Earth system.”
