  • This report by the Climate Policy Initiative and the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (CPI/PUC-Rio) examines how deforestation in the Amazon Rainforest triggers a 'domino effect' of degradation in distant areas by disrupting the water cycle and 'flying rivers'. Using a climate-forest model, the authors demonstrate that deforestation reduces rainfall downwind, leading to further tree death and potentially pushing the forest toward a tipping point and climate collapse.
