building a societal immune system: AMOC-tipping point and the role of **regenerative governance**
Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) acts as a critical regulator of global climate. recent data suggests a statistically significant weakening trend, with models estimating a probability of an AMOC shutdown between 25% and 70% depending on emission scenarios [Drijfhout et al. 2025]. for sustainability leads, this represents a massive physical climate risk. it requires a shift from passive mitigation to active adaptation. beyond traditional infrastructure: the need for a new model traditional centralized infrastructure is necessary but insufficient to handle the non-linear impacts of an AMOC collapse, such as rapid cooling in Northwest Europe or shifts in the tropical rain belt. to build true resilience, we must develop a societal immune system. this system must be built from the ground up, rooted in local communities and empowered by the intelligent use of advanced data and automation. 1. **regenerative governance** and community action ...
