The Future of the Amazon: Deforestation, Climate, and Tipping Points

Date & Time: 15 October, 15:30–17:00 CEST
Format: Webinar | Registration Required

The Amazon basin, home to tens of millions of people and one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, plays a crucial role in regulating the global climate. It is also considered a potential climate tipping point, where irreversible ecological changes could occur if current pressures continue.

Join AIMES, the Earth Commission, Future Earth, and WCRP’s Safe Landing Climates Lighthouse Activity for an insightful webinar exploring the latest scientific research on the Amazon and the risks posed by deforestation and climate change.

Webinar Highlights:

  • Lucas Ferreira Correa (LMU Munich): Amazon deforestation and contributions to tipping

  • Julia Pongratz (LMU Munich): Impacts of anthropogenic climate change and land-use change on the Amazon

  • Bernardo Flores (UFSC): Amazon tipping point: current risks and alternative pathways

  • Moderated discussion by Lana Blaschke (Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research)

The webinar will conclude with a moderated discussion, and a recording will be made available afterwards.
