Dynamics of interacting tipping elements on complex networks — •Jonathan F. Donges^1,2, Ann-Kristin Klose¹, and Ricarda Winkelmann¹ — ¹Earth System Analysis, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Potsdam, Germany — ²Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden

In recent years, an increasing number of potential tipping elements have been identified in ecological, climatic and social systems. Tipping elements are defined by their ability to undergo large qualitative change that is caused by a small perturbation in a parameter or state variable. We investigate the emergent nonlinear dynamics of pairs, chains and networks of generalized tipping elements. Understanding the dynamics of systems of interacting tipping elements on complex networks is relevant for assessing the resilience and transformative capacity of complex systems such as the Earth's climate system and the World's energy system in the context of decarbonization transformation for meeting the Paris climate agreement.
