These ‘6 tipping points’ could be catastrophic, warns UN

The United Nations’ research arm has warned that the world is dangerously close to six “tipping points” that could cause irreversible damage to the planet. These tipping points, including climate change, overuse of resources, extinction, groundwater depletion, glacial melt, unbearable heat, and space debris, could trigger abrupt changes in ecosystems and societies. The report emphasizes the need to address the root causes of these issues rather than just delaying the problems. It also warns of the economic consequences and lack of insurance coverage once these tipping points are reached.
