The report says the world is &#8220;perilously close&#8221; to triggering these tipping points that could have &#8220;irreversible, catastrophic impacts for people and the planet&#8221;. But there is some positive news. The authors of the Interconnected Disaster Risk report say that by knowing these thresholds are looming, we have an opportunity to avert their worst effects.<\/p>\n<p>The report warns whole societies will have to make &#8220;unprecedented&#8221; changes to avert disaster, but says the actions of individual people do play a significant role in influencing positive tipping points. &#8220;Some tipping points trigger abrupt changes in our life-sustaining systems that can shake the foundations of our societies,&#8221; says the report, authored by five researchers from the UN University in Bonn, Germany. The report highlights six such points, all of which Dr O&#8217;Connor says are highly relevant to Australia.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The six tipping points are:<\/li>\n<li>A chain reaction of ecosystem collapse<\/li>\n<li>Groundwater depletion<\/li>\n<li>Mountain glaciers melting<\/li>\n<li>Space junk destroying the space industry<\/li>\n<li>Unlivable heat<\/li>\n<li>Uninsurable future<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>All of these tipping points are connected, the report explains. For example, heat can kill plants and animals, which can have a cascading effect on ecosystems, as well as make heat impacts worse by removing shade from trees.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2023-10-25\/un-report-warns-tipping-points-crisis-humanity-must-take-action\/103014684\">ABC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/un-warns-humanity-facing-threats-from-space-climate-change-but-its-not-too-late-to-act\/\">UN warns humanity facing threats from space, climate change, but it&#8217;s not too late to act<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[425,575,5292,402],"class_list":["post-117949","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-crisis","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-humanity","tag-un"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117949","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117949"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117949\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117949"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117949"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117949"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
