  • The implications of overshooting 1.5 °C on Earth system tipping elements—a review

    Open AccessPaul Ritchie, Norman Julius Steinert et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2026

    Due to insufficient emission reductions in recent years, it is increasingly likely that global warming will exceed the 1.5 °C temperature limit in the late 2020s or 2030s. As a result, several Earth system tipping elements could, at least temporarily, have their tipping points surpassed, posing risks of large-scale and profound structural change. Tipping does not always occur immediately upon crossing such a critical threshold. If the length of t…

  • Thresholds of significant harm at global level

    Open AccessJagdish Gupta, Jesse F Abrams et al.ARTICLEEarth System Governance2025Referencias: 27

    The planetary boundary framework proposes ‘safe’ boundaries, but these boundaries are not necessarily ‘just’. Hence, we ask: How has the Earth Commission defined just boundaries building on the concept of minimizing significant harm and how many people are currently exposed to harm above the safe and just threshold? We document the work of the Earth Commission to address these questions using our Earth System Justice framework. We conclude that: …

  • Green spaces provide substantial but unequal urban cooling globally

    Open AccessYuxiang Li, Jens-Christian Svenning et al.ARTICLENature Communications2024

    Climate warming disproportionately impacts countries in the Global South by increasing extreme heat exposure. However, geographic disparities in adaptation capacity are unclear. Here, we assess global inequality in green spaces, which urban residents critically rely on to mitigate outdoor heat stress. We use remote sensing data to quantify daytime cooling by urban greenery in the warm seasons across the ~500 largest cities globally. We show a str…

  • Securing Nature’s Contributions to People requires at least 20%–25% (semi-)natural habitat in human-modified landscapes

    Open AccessAwaz Mohamed, Fabrice Declerck et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2024

    The cascading effects of biodiversity decline on human well-being present a pressing challenge for sustainable development. Conservation efforts often prioritize safeguarding specific species, habitats, or intact ecosystems but overlook biodiversity’s fundamental role in providing Nature’s Contributions to People (NCP) in human-modified landscapes. Here, we systematically review 154 peer-reviewed studies to estimate the minimum levels of (semi-)n…

  • Safe and just Earth system boundaries

    Open AccessJohan Rockström, Jagdish Gupta et al.ARTICLENature2023

    The stability and resilience of the Earth system and human well-being are inseparably linked 1–3 , yet their interdependencies are generally under-recognized; consequently, they are often treated independently 4,5 . Here, we use modelling and literature assessment to quantify safe and just Earth system boundaries (ESBs) for climate, the biosphere, water and nutrient cycles, and aerosols at global and subglobal scales. We propose ESBs for maintain…

  • Quantifying the human cost of global warming

    Open AccessTimothy M Lenton, Chi Xu et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2023Citada por: 10Referencias: 16

    The costs of climate change are often estimated in monetary terms, but this raises ethical issues. Here we express them in terms of numbers of people left outside the ‘human climate niche’—defined as the historically highly conserved distribution of relative human population density with respect to mean annual temperature. We show that climate change has already put ~9% of people (>600 million) outside this niche. By end-of-century (2080–2100), c…

  • Exceeding 1.5°C global warming could trigger multiple climate tipping points

    Open AccessDavid I Armstrong Mckay, Arie Staal et al.ARTICLEScience2022

    Climate tipping points occur when change in a part of the climate system becomes self-perpetuating beyond a warming threshold, leading to substantial Earth system impacts. Synthesizing paleoclimate, observational, and model-based studies, we provide a revised shortlist of global “core” tipping elements and regional “impact” tipping elements and their temperature thresholds. Current global warming of ~1.1°C above preindustrial temperatures already…

  • Achieving a nature- and people-positive future

    Open AccessDavid Obura, Fabrice Declerck et al.ARTICLEOne Earth2022

    Despite decades of increasing investment in conservation, we have not succeeded in ''bending the curve'' of biodiversity decline. Efforts to meet new targets and goals for the next three decades risk repeating this outcome due to three factors: neglect of increasing drivers of decline; unrealistic expectations and time frames of biodiversity recovery; and insufficient attention to justice within and between generations and across countries. Our E…

  • Impacts of meeting minimum access on critical earth systems amidst the Great Inequality

    Open AccessC Rammelt, Jagdish Gupta et al.ARTICLENature Sustainability2022Citada por: 12Referencias: 15

    The Sustainable Development Goals aim to improve access to resources and services, reduce environmental degradation, eradicate poverty and reduce inequality. However, the magnitude of the environmental burden that would arise from meeting the needs of the poorest is under debate—especially when compared to much larger burdens from the rich. We show that the ‘Great Acceleration’ of human impacts was characterized by a ‘Great Inequality’ in using a…

  • Identifying a Safe and Just Corridor for People and the Planet

    Open AccessJohan Rockström, Jagdish Gupta et al.ARTICLEEarth's Future2021

    Keeping the Earth system in a stable and resilient state, to safeguard Earth's life support systems while ensuring that Earth's benefits, risks, and related responsibilities are equitably shared, constitutes the grand challenge for human development in the Anthropocene. Here, we describe a framework that the recently formed Earth Commission will use to define and quantify target ranges for a “safe and just corridor” that meets these goals. Althou…

  • Geoengineering impact of open ocean dissolution of olivine on atmospheric CO 2 , surface ocean pH and marine biology

    Open AccessPeter Köhler, Jesse F Abrams et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2013

    Ongoing global warming induced by anthropogenic emissions has opened the debate as to whether geoengineering is a 'quick fix' option. Here we analyse the intended and unintended effects of one specific geoengineering approach, which is enhanced weathering via the open ocean dissolution of the silicate-containing mineral olivine. This approach would not only reduce atmospheric CO2 and oppose surface ocean acidification, but would also impact on ma…
