This report builds on years of research into the nine planetary boundaries—critical systems and processes that support life on Earth. These boundaries help maintain global stability.
Last
year, scientists concluded that six critical thresholds had been
exceeded. High-risk areas include climate change, the introduction of
new species, changes to biosphere integrity, and disruptions in
biogeochemical cycles....<<<Read More>>>...
