From Global Tipping Points Report 2025 Summary. University of Exeter et al.
"Every tipping point of danger can be mirrored by a tipping point of opportunity.
If coral reefs are dying back, restoration of coastal ecosystems can still drive
resilience and livelihoods. If forests are at risk, their regeneration can unlock
carbon removal, biodiversity recovery, and sustainable prosperity. If energy
systems remain carbon-intensive, the exponential uptake of renewables and
electrification — already led by many countries of the South — can define a new development model that cascades into positive change across other sectors.
The Global South is central to this endeavour. Across Africa, Asia, and Latin
America and the Caribbean, communities are pioneering regenerative
agriculture, restoring mangroves and forests, developing new bioeconomy
value chains, and advancing innovative financial instruments for just transitions.
These are not peripheral experiments: they are seeds of systemic change,
able to cascade into global impact if nurtured with solidarity, resources,
and political will." |
