Important from @OECD_ENV charting the increasing risks from climate system tipping points.
Less than 20 years ago the IPCC thought most TPs unlikely under 3-4C warming now expects high risks between 1.5-2.5C
See @e3g on the geopolitics of TPs here e3g.org/news/no-country-read…
Today @OECD releases🆕report calling on governments to take urgent action against the risks of #climate #tippingpoints!
The latest research shows these self-reinforcing, severe & irreversible changes could occur far sooner & at lower levels of warming.

From here in Glasgow @timbolord dynamics look very different.
The text is currently getting stronger as vulnerable group form coalitions with progressive OECD countries - so “big room” dynamic driving action well beyond where G20 has got to this year.

🌍 People must be able to keep these efforts on track, keep Paris & 1.5 alive, so that together we can reach a healthier, fairer, more resilient zero carbon world.

The most vulnerable communities which are being hit the hardest by climate change are often also excluded from decision-making.
Ensuring they are included in political processes and that decision makers listen to their voices is critical. #COP26 #OurPlanetNeedsDemocracy 🙋🌏

The most vulnerable communities are being hit the hardest by climate change.
