The plastics game of thrones: What is the plastics pollution problem represented to be in the plastics treaty negotiations?
Negotiations for an international legally binding instrument to end plastics pollution are a highly contested arena framing plastics pollution as a global policy problem. High and low-ambition groupings of political actors strive to control the problem representation, a power struggle ultimately affecting people worldwide and the planetary environment. Drawing on Plastics Treaty negotiation texts from 2022 and 2024, with participant observations …
Plastics pollution exacerbates the impacts of all planetary boundaries
Understanding and addressing the planetary crisis of chemicals and plastics
The Water Planetary Boundary: Interrogation and Revision
Food in the Anthropocene: The EAT–Lancet Commission on healthy diets from sustainable food systems
Trajectories of the Earth System in the Anthropocene
We explore the risk that self-reinforcing feedbacks could push the Earth System toward a planetary threshold that, if crossed, could prevent stabilization of the climate at intermediate temperature rises and cause continued warming on a “Hothouse Earth” pathway even as human emissions are reduced. Crossing the threshold would lead to a much higher global average temperature than any interglacial in the past 1.2 million years and to sea levels sig…
Closing the loop: Reconnecting human dynamics to Earth System science
International commitment to the appropriately ambitious Paris climate agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in 2015 has pulled into the limelight the urgent need for major scientific progress in understanding and modelling the Anthropocene, the tightly intertwined social-environmental planetary system that humanity now inhabits. The Anthropocene qualitatively differs from previous eras in Earth's history in three key char…
From Planetary Boundaries to national fair shares of the global safe operating space — How can the scales be bridged
The planetary boundaries framework proposes quantitative global limits to the anthropogenic perturbation of crucial Earth system processes, and thus marks out a planetary safe operating space for human activities. Yet, decisions regarding resource use and emissions are mostly made at less aggregated scales, by national and sub-national governments, businesses, and other local actors. To operationalize the planetary boundaries concept, the boundar…
Planetary boundaries: Guiding human development on a changing planet
Crossing the boundaries in global sustainability The planetary boundary (PB) concept, introduced in 2009, aimed to define the environmental limits within which humanity can safely operate. This approach has proved influential in global sustainability policy development. Steffen et al. provide an updated and extended analysis of the PB framework. Of the original nine proposed boundaries, they identify three (including climate change) that might pu…
Safe and just operating spaces for regional social-ecological systems
Humanity faces a major global challenge in achieving wellbeing for all, while simultaneously ensuring that the biophysical processes and ecosystem services that underpin wellbeing are exploited within scientifically informed boundaries of sustainability. We propose a framework for defining the safe and just operating space for humanity that integrates social wellbeing into the original planetary boundaries concept (Rockström et al., 2009a,b) for …
Approaches to defining a planetary boundary for biodiversity
The idea that there is an identifiable set of boundaries, beyond which anthropogenic change will put the Earth system outside a safe operating space for humanity, is attracting interest in the scientific community and gaining support in the environmental policy world. Rockstrom et al. (2009) identify nine such boundaries and highlight biodiversity loss as being the single boundary where current rates of extinction put the Earth system furthest ou…
