Earth's 9 Planetary Boundaries.
Earth has 9 planetary boundaries, & we’ve breached 6, and quickly encroaching in on the remaining 3. Climate change, biodiversity loss, deforestation, and pollution are all interconnected, fueling a crisis that won’t stop even if emissions ended today. This chain reaction is unfolding - but understanding it gives us a chance to act before more thresholds collapse.
The planetary boundary for Novel Entities focuses on the introduction of new, man-made substances (like plastics, industrial chemicals, and genetically modified organisms) into the environment, which can have unknown or long-lasting effects on the Earth system.
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a global roadmap to a better future—for people and the planet. Agreed upon by every country in 2015, they tackle the most urgent challenges of our time: ending poverty, ensuring quality education and healthcare, achieving gender equality, protecting nature, and creating fair, sustainable economies. They’re not just ideals—they’re practical, measurable goals designed to create a more just, livable world by 2030. If we take them seriously, they offer a clear path toward a future where no one is left behind.
