About Workshop

This workshop was part of the ICMS Mathematics for Humanity initiative. The workshop provided a forum for the development of mathematical thinking applied to climate tipping points and their possible impacts. We invited a variety of experts across the Mathematical Sciences research spectrum to deliver an assessment of the mechanisms and risks of tipping events in the Earth’s climate and ecosystems under anthropogenic forcing scenarios. This helped to understand the associated impacts, including implications for mitigation and adaptation.

The proposed workshop aimed to give a forum for discussion of state-of-the art developments in and applications of mathematical sciences to tipping-aware risk assessments as well as adaptation and mitigation strategies. It also aimed to bring open questions of relevance to the attention of researchers in the mathematical sciences.
