What are climate tipping points?

  • Climate scientists have known for a while, through paleoclimate records and other evidence, that there are “tipping elements” in the climate system.

  • Triggering one tipping point may trigger other tipping points.

Grappling with deep uncertainties

  • Researchers from Australian science agencies and universities came together last year to consider what global climate tipping points could mean for Australia.
  • We considered the nine global climate tipping points – and one of the most relevant regional tipping points for Australia, coral reef die-offs – as defined in a recent scientific review.
  • There are deep uncertainties about what conditions would trigger tipping points, how they would play out and their likely impacts.
  • Along with recognising the most urgent point – that deep emission cuts will limit the chances of triggering tipping points – our conclusions cover three areas.
  • We need more research We need to expand research on paleoclimate records, theory and process understanding, observations, monitoring and modelling.
  • Australia leads world-class research, including on Antarctica, the Southern Ocean, the carbon cycle, weather processes and ecosystems.
