Warm water coral reef chapter Q&A - Global Tipping Points Report 2025
Each bleaching event has become more extensive and more extreme in terms of the exposure of heat and impacts. Exceeding the thermal tipping point means an acceleration of on-going reef decline and the loss of the essential ecosystem services they provide.
The planet has entered a ‘new reality’ as it hits its first climate tipping point
The planet is grappling with a “new reality” as it reaches the first in a series of catastrophic and potentially irreversible climate tipping points: the widespread death of coral reefs, according to a landmark report produced by 160 scientists across the world.
Earth’s Climate has passed its first irreversible tipping point
McField added that the actions needed to bolster the corals’ defense against rising temperatures are clear, and include better sewage treatment, the creation of marine preserves, and more strident efforts to tackle overfishing.
New Report finds coral reefs crossed a tipping point
McField is one of 160 authors of a landmark report confirming that the questioner that day may have been right. The 2025 Global Tipping Points Report, released by the University of Exeter and international partners on Sunday, finds that the world’s warm-water coral reefs have become the first Earth system to cross its thermal tipping point.
