Atlantic current collapse risk absent from national climate plans

New reporting warns that key Atlantic Ocean currents, including the system often called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, could collapse at some point this century, with severe consequences for weather and sea levels. Despite the scale of the threat, the risk is largely absent from almost all national climate adaptation and mitigation plans, prompting calls for governments to take the possibility more seriously.
Why now: A new study highlighting a potentially catastrophic but under-planned-for climate tipping point has reignited debate over how governments prepare for abrupt climate change.
