全球温暖化により永久凍土が融解し、二酸化炭素とメタンが放出されることで気候変動が増幅される。本研究では、このフィードバックを気温予測に組み込み、複数の気候ティッピング要素（グリーンランド・西南極氷床、大西洋南北循環、アマゾン熱帯雨林）への影響を分析。フィードバックによりティッピング確率が最大50%上昇し、発生時期が数百年早まる可能性を示した。
English
Global warming causes permafrost thaw and emissions of CO2 and CH4, amplifying climate change. This study integrates permafrost carbon feedback into temperature projections to assess tipping risks for Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets, AMOC, and Amazon rainforest. Results show up to 50% higher probability of tipping and acceleration by hundreds of years, especially in overshoot scenarios with peak temperatures below 2-3°C.

日本のGX文脈において
日本のGX政策においては、長期排出削減目標（2050年カーボンニュートラル）の設定や、適応策の重要性を示唆する内容。特に永久凍土融解による追加排出は、日本が参加する国際枠組み（パリ協定）の目標達成に間接的な影響を与える。
In the global GX context
This paper underscores that ignoring permafrost carbon feedback underestimates climate risks, which is critical for global climate targets (Paris Agreement) and TCFD/ISSB scenario analysis. It highlights the need for more comprehensive carbon accounting and risk assessment in climate transition planning.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Global warming leads to widespread permafrost thaw and subsequent emissions of carbon dioxide and methane, driving the permafrost carbon–climate feedback (PCF) which amplifies climate change. Many current-generation climate models omit this feedback, limiting projections of long-term temperature outcomes and associated Earth system tipping risks. Here, we investigate how this feedback affects the risk and timing of crossing tipping points in the Earth system by integrating permafrost carbon emissions into temperature projections for idealized stabilization and overshoot scenarios. In a conceptual network model of interacting climate tipping elements—including the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, and the Amazon rainforest, we find that PCF leads to additional warming that increases the probability of exceeding one or more tipping elements by up to 50% and can substantially accelerate the timing of tipping events by hundreds of years. The effect of PCF on tipping risk and acceleration is particularly evident in overshoot scenarios with lower peak temperatures below 2–3 ∘C or peak cumulative emissions of below 2000 PgC. Considering PCF, therefore, narrows the critical temperature space for overshoot pathways. Our results highlight that failing to account for PCF underestimates both climate risks and the urgency of mitigation, increasing the likelihood of tipping events across the Earth system.
