Planetary boundaries: Safe Operating Levels to Danger Zones. Human activities are now causing boundaries to irreversibly enter danger zones.
Planetary boundaries have operating safe levels. And as a result of human activity key boundaries are now irreversibly entering danger zones.
Planetary boundaries are defined to understand safe ranges for our Earth’s systems. Specifically, safe levels that existed globally prior to the Industrial Revolution.
And for our earth systems and living systems, our planet needs to continue to operate within these safe spaces.
For evaluation, the nine Planetary Boundaries are:
And of these, the two core planetary boundaries are climate change and biodiversity integrity.
Specific reports indicate that four of nine planetary boundaries have now been crossed or at threat of being crossed as a result of human activity:
In approximately the 2018 – 2020 periods, the biogeochemical flows of nitrogen & phosphorus, and biodiversity loss & extinctions were observed to have crossed into the red or danger zones.
And the climate change and land change boundaries have crossed into the yellow or very concerning zones.
