Exceeding 1.5°C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points (2022, neutral): “Widespread Amazon dieback was originally projected at either 3 to 4°C of warming or ~40% deforestation ( 78 ) but uncertain synergistic interaction might lower the deforestation threshold to only ~20 to 25% ( 79 ).”
System complexity and policy integration challenges: The Brazilian Energy- Water-Food Nexus (2019, background): “A self-reinforcing interaction exists between temperature change, drying, forest fires, deforestation and a collapse of the Amazonian rainforest [33,34].”
Interacting tipping elements increase risk of climate domino effects under global warming (2020, background): “Dynam., 12, 601–619, 2021 states of the Amazon ecosystem (Oyama and Nobre, 2003) and suggest that rainforest dieback might be possible due to drying of the Amazon Basin under future climate change scenarios (Nobre et al., 2016; Cox et al., 2004, 2000).”
A Global Deal For Nature: Guiding principles, milestones, and targets (2019, neutral): “Some parts of the planet work as a system and need to be managed for a high proportion of intactness to continue to function as a weather machine for the planet (65, 66).”
