Doctor’s verdict is not good, but at least we have a health check to guide our actions.
The Planetary Boundaries s framework analyses and monitors the nine PB processes and systems that scientifically are proven to regulate the health of our planet. Each of these processes, such as Climate Change or Ocean Acidification, is currently quantified by one or two different control variables.
The 2024 Planetary Health Check report reveals that six out of nine PB processes have breached the safe PB levels, with all six showing trends of increasing pressure in all control variables, suggesting further boundary transgression in the near future.
