I just attended this webinar on Transitions to Sustainable Futures: Water and Water Systems in the Urban by the Indian Institute for Human Settlements and learnt so much! I was especially drawn to the research being conducted by Joyeeta Gupta and her involvement with the Earth Commission. One of the frameworks that she's co-developing seems to have elements of a counter movement to capitalism and I'm all for it!!

Adding these 2 to my reading list: Earth system boundaries and Earth system justice: sharing the ecospace and A just world on a safe planet: a Lancet Planetary Health–Earth Commission report on Earth-system boundaries, translations, and transformations

Her Global Constitution Project is also so fascinating!

Glad to see this paper out from The Earth Commission proposing new quantifications for #EarthSystemBoundaries that are both Safe & Just, for which I've been working on the climate and nutrient boundaries.

"Safe and just Earth system boundaries", published yesterday by @jrockstrom et al, provides an important summary for the state of things.

Looking at different #EarthSystemBoundaries #ESB, it shows where we are at - 7 of 8 ESBs already crossed, not good! It also discusses what "safe and just" means, and how it can be calculated.
Btw: as you can see from the visualisation, #Doughnut economics is derived from this #PlanetaryBoundaries work

Safe and just Earth system boundaries
"#Nature study quantifies "planetary boundaries" for aerosol pollution, fresh water, nutrient cycles, #biodiversity, land use and #climate, beyond which the planet is longer "safe and just" for humans."

“These rapid changes to the Earth system undermine critical life-support systems with significant societal impacts already felt and they could lead to triggering #TippingPoints that irreversibly destabilize the #Earth system...These changes are mostly driven by social and economic systems run on #unsustainable resource #extraction and #consumption."
