Country Climate Risk Profiles
📌 Zusammenfassung
Comprehensive climate risk assessments for 40+ countries, covering heat, drought, flood, sea level, and storm risks. Each profile includes projected changes through 2100 based on IPCC, World Bank Climate Change Knowledge Portal, and national climate adaptation plans.

AMOC — Kippt die Atlantische Meereszirkulation?
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is one of Earth's most critical climate systems. It transports warm water from the tropics to the North Atlantic, keeping Europe significantly warmer than it would otherwise be. Recent science (2024-2026) indicates it is weakening and approaching a tipping point much earlier than previously assumed.
Globale Temperatur-Rekorde — Wo stehen wir?
2024 was the warmest year ever recorded, exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for the first time. The last 10 years (2015-2024) were the 10 warmest on record. Despite La Niña cooling, 2025 remained the 3rd warmest year. The Paris Agreement's 1.5°C target is increasingly seen as breached.
Klima-Kipppunkte — Die kaskadenden Schwellen
The "Global Tipping Points Report 2025" (160 scientists, 23 countries) identifies critical thresholds that, once crossed, trigger self-reinforcing changes. Coral reefs have already tipped. Five more tipping points are at risk near 1.5°C: Greenland ice, West Antarctic ice, AMOC, Amazon rainforest, and permafrost.
Meeresspiegel-Anstieg — Küstenstädte in Gefahr
Global sea level is rising faster than at any point in the last 3,000 years. Current rate: ~4.5mm/year (doubling every ~25 years). Projections for 2100 range from 30cm (best case) to over 2m (worst case with ice sheet collapse). Major cities at risk: Mumbai, Shanghai, Miami, New York, Jakarta, Bangkok, Lagos, Tokyo.
