Recently, tipping points have attracted a lot of attention from both science and the media in the discussion of human-caused climate change. The IPCC in their latest assessment report no. 6 list tipping points in their glossary: “A critical threshold beyond which a system reorganizes, often abruptly and/or irreversibly.” The events of tipping are called regime shifts. In this workshop, we will cover the definition itself in more detail along with recent findings on marine tipping points and regime shifts from the two EU Horizon 2020 projects COMFORT and TiPACCs and the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme. The event will cover aspects of reversibility, time scales, uncertainties involved, mitigation pathways and adaptation options, and policy-relevant recommendations.
