Tipping points > Trade wars. Robert Muggah warns that ecosystem collapse is the ultimate geopolitical risk. As biophysical foundations fail, we face cascading non-linear shocks: food price spikes, displacement, and eroded state legitimacy. The "safe zone" is behind us. 🌍📉

Tipping points and ecosystem collapse are the real geopolitical risk (commentary)

The focus of experts in global security tends to orbit familiar threats. War in Europe and the Middle East. Trade disruption and financial volatility. Technology shocks and threats to information integrity. But the most consequential driver of instability is unfolding under our feet and over our heads. The world’s climate system is edging toward tipping points and nature is […]

“Not all climate risk products are created equal.”

#ClimateChange is increasing the risk of atmospheric perils - which in turn is causing broader uptake of #CatastropheModels.

But as the authors of this recently published #JCRR research paper reveals, the range of loss estimates from the state level to the asset level varies: https://journalofcrr.com/research/04-01-dusseau-et-al/

“Publication of model validation analyses is vital as [catastrophe] models have a large influence on society through the insurance, financial, and real estate systems... Not only is validating these models crucial to ensure risk is not over or underpriced, but these financial signals motivate market behaviour that determine risk exposure.”

Forecasts are improving every year.

Yet disasters continue to cause massive impacts.

The real gap is no longer scientific.
It sits between knowing and deciding.

Climate resilience today is mostly a governance challenge, not a forecasting one.
