A new United Nations report warns that extreme environmental events are pushing humanity closer to a series of catastrophic Tipping Points. The report identifies six interconnected tipping points, including escalating rates of extinction, groundwater depletion, glacial melting, extreme heat, space debris, and uninsurable future. The Asia Pacific region is particularly vulnerable to these tipping points, with countries like India and Pakistan facing risks related to groundwater depletion and melting glaciers. The report also highlights the importance of addressing these risks through "Avoid" and "Adapt" solutions and was released ahead of the upcoming COP28 climate conference in Dubai.
