Safe and just Earth system boundaries
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…
Identifying a Safe and Just Corridor for People and the Planet
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…

Conventions of climate change: Constructions of Danger and the Dispossession of the Atmosphere
Accumulation by Decarbonization and the Governance of Carbon Offsets
This article examines the governance of international carbon offsets, analyzing the political economy of the origins and governance of offsets. We examine how the governance structures of the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism and unregulated voluntary carbon offsets differ in regulation and in complexity of the chain that links consumers and reducers of carbon, with specific consequences for carbon reductions, development, and the abil…
Neoliberalism and the Environment in Latin America
This review examines how neoliberal policies that include free trade and less government have altered environmental management of industry, forests, water, agricultural land, and fisheries in Latin America. We examine theories and case studies about the privatization and pricing of environmental services and common property resources, the environmental impacts of free trade, and the transfer of environmental management to local or nongovernmental…
E Nvironmental I Ssues a Long the U Nited S Tates -M Exico B Order: Drivers of Change and Responses of Citizens and Institutions
The US-Mexico border region illustrates the challenges of binational environmental management in the context of a harsh physical environment, rapid growth, and economic integration. Transboundary and shared resources and conflicts include limited surface water supplies, depletion of groundwater, air and water pollution, hazardous waste, and conservation of important natural ecosystems. Public policy responses to environmental problems on the bord…
Geography and the Global Environment
T he study of the human relationship to the environment is one of the major traditions of geography, bridging physical and human geography, and echoing many of the major debates in the discipline (Manners and Mikesell 1974; Johnston 1983, 1986; Goudie 1986; Kates 1987; Demko 1988; FitzSimmons 1989; Peet and Thrift 1989; Turner 1989; Cooke 1992; Wilbanks 1994). This paper offers some reflections on twenty-five years of continuity and change in the…

Drought Impacts in Mexico: Climate, Agriculture, Technology, and Land Tenure in Sonora and Puebla
This paper shows how vulnerability to natural hazards can be measured and analyzed and how drought vulnerability might relate to new agricultural technologies and land tenure in Mexico. Several authors have suggested that the impacts of drought on agricultural systems are determined as much by the technological, economic, and political characteristics of a region as by the severity of meteorological events. But the literature on natural hazards a…

The Mississauga Train Derailment and Evacuation, 10–16 November 1979
The evacuation of a quarter of a million residents of the city of Mississauga, Ontario, in the aftermath of the derailment of a freight train carrying hazardous materials on 10 November 1979, was, at that time, the largest peacetime evacuation ever conducted in North America. It took place with little panic or injury, no deaths, and no apparent resistance to evacuation advice. Not surprisingly, then, the success of the Mississauga evacuation has …
