« Back to Glossary Index

A climate doom loop refers to a self-perpetuating cycle of feedback between climate change and human actions, which could have catastrophic and irreversible consequences for the planet. The term was coined by economist Nicholas Stern and refers to the idea that climate change could trigger a series of events that exacerbate its impacts, creating a downward spiral that is difficult to reverse.
