Humanity is on a collision course with carefully balanced natural systems that have kept our planet liveable for millennia.
We are working to define #EarthSystemBoundaries to guide the necessary changes for a #SafeAndJust planet.

#TippingPoints, #EarthSystemBoundaries IMHO, this is a major tipping point as well as source of GHG for the foreseeable future.
The panel discussion we took part in earlier this week for #WEF25 in #Davos covered #SafeAndJust #EarthSystemBoundaries, how to translate science into action and the case for businesses to act sustainably.
During #WEF25 you may hear people talking about Planetary Boundaries & #EarthSystemBoundaries.
But do you know what the difference is?
We break it down in our blog: globalcommonsalliance.org/news/planeta...
You can also explore landscapes visually transforming within #SafeAndJust boundaries. 👇

As the scientific cornerstone of @globalcommonshq.bsky.social, the Earth Commission’s work defines #EarthSystemBoundaries.
At its heart is the focus on future generations and the planet that they will inherit.
Let’s make it #SafeAndJust for all.

Nature is key to achieving #EarthSystemBoundaries that are #SafeAndJust.
Urban areas should host more vegetation. Not only do these make beautiful additions to built-up areas; they optimise our relationship with nature.

In September, our flagship report, ‘A Just World on a Safe Planet: a Lancet Planetary Health-Earth Commission report on #EarthSystemBoundaries, translations, and transformations’, was published in @thelancet.bsky.social.

Our work focuses on #EarthSystemBoundaries, but how do they relate to #PlanetaryBoundaries and #TippingPoints?
This @WEF article explains these 3 complementary frameworks, outlining how important they are for understanding Earth’s natural systems.
