Major Tipping Points in the Earth's Climate System and Consequences for the Insurance Sector

The report focuses on four phenomena and/or regions where climate change may push the Earth system past tipping points with significant impacts within this century: sea level rise, particularly along the northeast U.S. coast, shifts in the Indian summer monsoon combined with the melting of Himalayan glaciers, Amazon die-back and drought, and shift in aridity in southwest North America. The report was produced by WWF and Allianz SE.
