  7. BACKGROUND “Tipping points:” System response accelerates faster than forcing applied… Shifts depend on: • Changes in forcing • Changes in system shape Scheffer et al., Nature, 2009

  8. Safe operating spaces • Climate mitigation targets • Mitigation pathways OBJECTIVES mitigation 1) Warming 2) Deoxygenation 3) Acidification www.comfort.project.eu Following Steffen et al., Science, 2015, with modifications Our common future ocean in the Earth system – quantifying coupled cycles of carbon, oxygen, and nutrients for determining and achieving safe operating spaces with respect to tipping points detection Grant Agreement number: 820989 — H2020-LC-CLA-2018-2

  9. APPROACH Screen observational and model data (including “critical slowing down”, “reversibility”, “compound extremes”) Assess impacts of abrupt change in physical-chemical system and ecosystems (case studies, incl. fish, habitats, biomes) Quantify critical thresholds for GHG emissions based on case studies and screening (integration) Develop feasible mitigation pathways and test them through state-of-the art Earth system models, modifying scenarios/projections

  12. WP2: Dynamics, extremes, early warning indicators, and reversibility WP1: Ocean state under climate change EXAMPLE EXAMPLE Extension to marine biogeochemistry needed Recent marine heatwaves, literature summary Frölicher and Laufkötter et al., 2018, Nature Comm. Drijfhout et al., 2015, PNAS

  13. WP4: Integrated Impact Assessment • WP3: Impacts, risks, thresholds: Case studies EXAMPLE EXAMPLE Shift of total average Pacific skipjack tuna biomass under aggressive A2 warming scenario, model projection Lehodey et al., 2013, Climate Change Steffen et al., 2015, Science

  14. WP5: Ocean mitigation options assessment • WP6: Projections mu EXAMPLE EXAMPLES Gattuso et al., 2018, Frontiers in Mar. Sc. Multiple mitigation targets Steinacher et al., 2013, Nature Rogelj et al., 2016, Nature

  16. POLICY RELEVANCE ΔTemp Δrisk IPCC Reason(s) For Concern See: O’Neill et al., Nature Climate Change, 2017, DOI: 10.1038/NCLIMATE3179 risk = (Probability of Events ) × Consequences

  17. IPCC Reason(s) For Concern See: O’Neill et al., Nature Climate Change, 2017, DOI: 10.1038/NCLIMATE3179 “Risk is the potential for negative consequences, whereas impacts are the manifestation of that potential.”

  18. IPCC Reason(s) For Concern PARIS AGREEMENT See: O’Neill et al., Nature Climate Change, 2017, DOI: 10.1038/NCLIMATE3179

  19. STAKEHOLDER REFERENCE GROUP (WP7) Overall goal is to maximise impact of the project. Specific goals are: 1. Combine stakeholder knowledge with the project results to shape the project’s outcome. 2. Support major international scientific assessments such as the IPCC. 3. Prepare results for decision and policy makers towards management of the Earth system. 4. Make project results easily accessible for stakeholders. IPCC AR5 WG2 Ch. 19 • “Risk is the potential for negative consequences, whereas impacts are the manifestation of that potential.” • O’Neill et al., Nature Climate Change, 2017

  23. It's not just what you're born withIt's what you choose to bear It's not how big your share isBut how much you can share And it is not the fights you dreamed ofBut those you really fought It's not what you've been givenIt's what you do with what you've got Thanks for supporting our work!!! We really appreciate it. D. Gaughan
