Planetary Boundaries

Planetary Boundaries is a concept that defines nine ecological limits within which humanity can safely operate to maintain a stable and resilient Earth system. These boundaries include climate change, biodiversity loss, and ocean acidification, among others. Staying within these limits is crucial to prevent irreversible environmental damage that could threaten human well-being and the planet's ecosystems. Exceeding any of these boundaries increases the risk of triggering severe environmental changes, impacting food security, water supply, and overall quality of life. It's a framework aimed at guiding sustainable development and protecting the Earth for future generations.
