Climate-fueled disruption in the Asia-Pacific region
Cascading climate impacts would “drive political instability and greater national insecurity, and fuel regional and international conflict” and “Australia’s disaster relief capacity is underfunded and overwhelmed”.

“The risk of several global-scale tipping points being triggered this century has increased, according to the scientific literature...The world is dangerously off track to meet the Paris Agreement goals, the risks are compounding and the impacts will be devastating in the coming decades...The physical impacts of climate change and the system-level changes “compound and cascade in a non-linear way.”
