"Grow the Economy" when the planet is at risk of destabilisation. Wow. They're bright.

An important and critical article to share on the pursuit of a fundamental reshaping of frameworks to imagine a future that is both fair and ecologically balanced, characterized by the dismantling of oppressive structures and the promotion of knowledge co-production, justice, and decolonization.

According to the EAT-Lancet Commission, a scientific initiative tasked with defining targets for #sustainable #food production, global food production—especially factory-farmed #redmeat— is one of the most significant drivers of #environmental #degradation, #climateinstability, and #biodiversity loss.

What is the relationship between the principle of solidarity in international law, societal goals of sustainability, and the role of business? In my latest paper on SSRN I venture into these questions. As is evident from the several references to work-in-progress papers, this paper reflects ongoing thinking, and I would therefore be especially happy for any constructive comments!

Hey everyone!

A lot of people joined us on LinkedIn and YouTube for the Planetary Boundaries webinar.

Thanks so much. The webinar is up on YouTube right now. Once it's finished processing I'll drop timestamps in the video and resources for your reporting.

If you're itching to send us a pitch @mongabay on #planetaryboundaries you can do so via this link here:

@breadandcircuses the last paragraph sums up our current political and economic quagmire. In democracies, due to needing to get a majority of votes to govern, political parties do not 'lead' change, they follow popular interest. Currently, popular interest is driven by marketing in a system reliant on growth.

I see no other pathway out of our current trajectory than a framework respecting #PlanetaryBoundaries, which requires #PostGrowth approaches.

@visuealbear some of my approach is outlined in this set of slides: https://mcgodwin.com/en/2023/07/12/masterclass-designing-networks-la-plateforme/

It includes: abstaining from designing, delegating & trusting people to design themselves, investigating organisations and business models to integrate #climateChange, #planetaryBoundaries and #renunciationProtocols into their ontologies and practices, advocating for social justice, etc. #ecologicalRedirection considers design a powerful mindset / tool to promote systemic change.

You may have seen the news recently about the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and how a study suggests it could collapse this century.

Well, myself and a panel of journalists (including @claireasher@mastodon.socia) will be discussing a topic very much related to this: #planetaryboundaries (and ecological #tippingpoints)

If you're a journalist (or a curious reader) come join us.

11 am UTC on the 27th.

The Anthropocene is a colonial construct and very misleading. Referring to the human species as the influencer of a new geologic epoch beginning less than 100 yrs ago ignores 200,000 to 2,000,000 yrs of humans living within #PlanetaryBoundaries.

Wer erinnert sich an die Lektüre des Kleinen Prinzen? Welches gemeinsame Dilemma kann dessen Autor mit heutigen Nachhaltigkeitswissenschaftler*innen haben? Lest hierzu unser neues Essay auf unserem URBANCE-Blog. #PlanetaryBoundaries #HumanNatureResonance #ClimateCrisis

https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/jul/09/the-planet-warms-the-world-economy-cools-the-real-global-recession-is-ecological It’s funny. No not funny at all. That the most vulnerable countries as to dependence on limited natural resources, are in terms of #GDP the “richest”. Huh? We desperately need a new kind of #economics. #climate #sustainability #overshootday #planetaryboundaries

@jasonhickel just published a really good piece on #degrowth and technology, which debunks some of "degrowth is against green tech". We have enough trouble facing down the fossil fuel industry, we shouldn't such false debates internally. #GreenGrowth #PlanetaryBoundaries

@Dragon Yes, but based on the diagram comparing mobility options, governments that campaign on employment opportunities through extraction & manufacturing will have the tendency to support auto manufacturing for votes over large public transit infrastructure projects. They have painted themselves into a corner! #degrowth #UBI #PlanetaryBoundaries

@serialooie - thx for posting.

“Returning land to Indigenous care is healing for us & healing for the land,” says Corrina Gould, co-founder of Sogorea Te’ Land Trust and tribal chairperson of the Confederated Villages of Lisjan. “Working together with Movement Generation to create visions and commitments into the next generations allows us to reimagine relationships to this land and multiply the possibilities of our work.”

@yaneerbaryam It is a great analogy for the overarching western economic paradigm as it presses up against and beyond 7 of 9 #PlanetaryBoundaries

Is anyone familiar with how the #planetaryboundaries Biosphere Integrity (#biodiversity) boundary was set? Its threshold is stated as "an annual rate of loss of biological diversity of < 10 extinctions per million species". This seems to me an incomplete metric.

Surely there need to be more added?

Ideas:
1. The diversity of remaining species across orders/families, to assess if ecosystems are functional.

We’ve already breached most of the Earth’s limits—a safer, fairer future means treading lightly. Scientists have identified eight boundaries for five vital planetary systems: climate, biosphere, freshwater, nutrient use and air pollution. We have exceeded the safe and just limits for four of them.
