The Global Tipping Points Report 2025,
Prepared by the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter,
With the participation of 160 scientists,
Warns that Earth has crossed its first climate tipping point.

Coral reefs, once radiant ecosystems,
Are collapsing under relentless ocean heat.

Their bleaching is not just a marine tragedy,
It’s the planet’s early warning.

As reefs die, food chains fracture,
Coastlines weaken, and economies tremble.

Greater dangers wait ahead,
The Amazon, the polar ice sheets, the Atlantic currents,
All showing signs of strain.

It is no longer a question of if, but when.

The scenario hints at catastrophic consequences,
And demands urgent policy responses,
That will define,
And decide the future of our planet.
