Food matters: A global shift to a healthier, more sustainable diet could be a huge lever to limit global warming to 1.5°C, PIK researchers find. Results of the new study Science Advances indicate that a shift in diets could make a considerable difference: pik-potsdam.de/en/news/latest…

Huge boost, confirming importance & impact of Planetary Boundaries science. A true community effort that would never have been possible without Stockholm Resilience Centre, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research PIK, & Future Earth.

“Earth is our haven' 🌍

In the article below, astronomer Dr Raphaëlle Haywood of Global Systems Institute University of Exeter says: “The more I looked at... other worlds, the more it made me realise actually that our own planet is really unique and really precious' aa.com.tr/en/environment…

New paper! Redefining the Global Commons from (old) 'systems owned by nobody and thereby by everyone', to (new) all systems that regulate the stability of Earth. Includes all tipping elements. The planetary commons A new paradigm for safeguarding Earth [] pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Tipping elements of the Earth system should be considered #GlobalCommons , researchers argue in a new paper. To limit risks for human societies & secure critical Earth system functions they propose a new framework of #PlanetaryCommons : pik-potsdam.de/en/news/latest…

📢 New Earth Commission Study: Nature's Contribution to People!

Published in One Earth the study reveals how people will miss out on the many benefits nature provides unless 20–‍25% (semi-)natural habitat are secured in #ag & #urban landscapes 🌳👥: earthcommission.org/news/earth-com…

Bob Costanza found some hope in 2023 in the momentum to move beyond #gdp as a guide for human progress. Great commentary in @nature mentions Earth4All and The Club of Rome nature.com/articles/d4158… Per Espen Stoknes Jayati Ghosh Sandrine Dixson

Humankind risks getting stuck in 14 evolutionary dead ends — from global climate tipping points to misaligned artificial intelligence, and accelerating infectious diseases.

To break these trends, humans must become self-aware of our common futures: buff.ly/47ruLnE

From the Holocene's stable conditions to the 2020s, we're transgressing 6 of 9 identified #PlanetaryBoundaries . The Montreal Protocol's success on ozone proves we can be effective #PlanetaryGuardians when united. We've made strides before; let's address the remaining challenges.
