Highlights
  • The planet has crossed its initial climate tipping point, with warming surpassing 1.2C and now reaching around 1.4C, driving widespread coral reef diebacks and tipping-point risks.
  • Researchers identified this critical threshold at 1.2C above pre-industrial levels; however, global temperatures have now reached 1.4C, indicating that the severe repercussions of this breach are already unfolding.
  • In the last two years, more than 80% of the worlds reefs have been affected by the worst bleaching event on record, with corals losing their colours and turning white because of stress largely caused by high ocean temperatures.
