Safe and just Earth system boundaries
"#Nature study quantifies "planetary boundaries" for aerosol pollution, fresh water, nutrient cycles, biodiversity, land use and #climate, beyond which the planet is longer "safe and just" for humans."
“These rapid changes to the Earth system undermine critical life-support systems with significant societal impacts already felt and they could lead to triggering #TippingPoints that irreversibly destabilize the #Earth system...These changes are mostly driven by social and economic systems run on #unsustainable resource #extraction and #consumption."
