Breaching planetary boundaries: Over half of global land area suffers critical losses in functional biosphere integrity

Over half of Earth’s land surface has transgressed critical ecological thresholds, signaling a breach of the planetary boundary for functional biosphere integrity. By combining indicators of human pressure and ecosystem disruption, this study reveals locations and points in time that indicate ecological degradation. The findings stress the urgent need to safeguard ecosystems as a foundation for a stable and resilient planet.

60 percent of the world’s land area is in a precarious state

15.08.2025 – A new study maps the planetary boundary of “functional biosphere integrity” in spatial detail and over centuries. It finds that 60 percent of global land areas are now already outside the locally defined safe zone, and 38 percent are even in the high-risk zone. The study was led by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) together with BOKU University in Vienna and published in the renowned journal One Earth.
