Johan Rockström is one of the world’s leading earth systems scientists,whose groundbreaking research led to the development of the Planetary Boundaries science, a framework which serves as a 'safe operating space' for humanity.
Johan and his team identified nine Planetary Boundaries: climate change, ocean acidification, biosphere integrity, stratospheric ozone, depletion, atmospheric aerosol loading, biogeochemical flows, freshwater and land systems change.
Rockström led a global team of 28 internationally-renowned scientists to develop the Planetary Boundaries framework. The research showed two out of the nine boundaries had been crossed.
The Planetary Boundaries science is updated again, this time showing four of the nine boundaries had been crossed.
The Planetary Boundaries science is updated, this time showing six out of the nine boundaries have been crossed.
