Will we reach the tipping points that make Earth uninhabitable?
In short: Climate impact scholar Johan Rockström explains why we have a ten-year window to prevent global destabilization. This video explores the critical risks facing the biophysical systems that regulate our planet's climate.
Johan Rockström identifies fifteen major biophysical systems that regulate the Earth's climate. He warns that nine of these systems—including the Amazon rainforest, the great forests of the North, and the Siberian permafrost—are currently at risk of hitting tipping points. Such shifts could destabilize the entire planet and threaten human habitability. Rockström proposes a ten-year plan to shift the world back toward sustainability and protect future generations.
