🆕 study: Global warming must stay below 2°C and return to 1.5°C as quickly as possible to reduce tipping point risks. Long term, temperatures must cool to 1°C above pre-industrial levels, scientists from University of Exeter, CICERO - Center for International Climate Research & PIK find.

“It’s concerning that, even with a small and relatively brief overshoot of the 1.5°C target, up to five Earth system tipping points could be triggered ,” says PIK's Nico Wunderling.
