About this Educational videoThe planetary boundaries framework, developed by Johan Rockström in 2009, is a science-based assessment of the nine critical processes that maintain Earth’s stability and resilience. Speaking at Frontiers Forum Live 2023, Rockström emphasized that humanity is now the primary driver of planetary change, with a limited window to maintain Earth in a Holocene-like state. The framework highlights diminishing Earth system resilience, even with rapid decarbonization and net-zero efforts, underscoring the need for transformative, innovative, and equitable sustainability transitions. Rockström, a leading sustainability expert and director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, advocates for science as central to achieving a safe and just space for humanity and biodiversity.
