It is finally out! Our Nature Review paper on the 15 year journey of advancing Planetary Boundary science. Progress, impacts, uptake (in science, policy, cities, countries and business) and future challenges nature.com/articles/s4301…

And here is a link to an Open Access version of the Nature Review paper "Planetary Boundaries guide Humanity's future on Earth", if you have problems accessing it... rdcu.be/dZzQ8

Finally published! We show how accounting for conditions at the origin of rain increases #Risk to #water security worldwide. Think Upwind instead of only Upstream! nature.com/articles/s4422… Thanks J.Posada, @lan_wang, MCRulli, @SalazarJuanF @BolinCentre @sthlmresilience @polimi

Human activities have radically altered the global freshwater cycle, exceeding the planetary boundary by the mid-20th century. For nearly a century, our actions have disrupted Earth's freshwater system, diverging from pre-industrial stability. Learn more buff.ly/4dW5Exo

Congrats to the Anthropocene Laboratory on its inauguration! The new research lab was formally opened at the @ScienceAcad_swe in the presence of HRH Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden. We look forward to further explore human-nature interactions in the biosphere!

We are looking for a dedicated postdoctoral fellow to join a project on forest-based climate change mitigation. Is this you? Apply for the position by 17 March 2024: buff.ly/2RSIVId

We are raising our ambitions in the Planetary Boundaries science even further. We look for talent on Earth system modelling, tipping point science and Earth observations for PB monitoring. Consider joining a rapidly expanding and dynamic team! pik-potsdam.de/en/institute/d…

Interested in water-land-climate interactions? Want to research the resilience of climate mitigation in global forests? 🌳 📢Apply to postdoc position at @sthlmresilience @Stockholms_univ by 17/3 su.se/english/about-… Collab w @PIK_Climate, @siwi_water, @KTHuniversity!

💧 The atmospheric water cycle connects distant ecosystems. Read our new paper: Atmospheric water recycling an essential feature of critical natural asset stewardship by @watersecurity, @Pam_M_Collins, @beckyck, & @lan_wang #Ecosystems #WaterSecurity 👉🏼 bit.ly/3vNuSfT

@jburnmurdoch How do you explain the rapid GDP growth in Europe since the 1950-60s? Just as a culture of ’progress’ started to plummet and one of ’caution’ began its rise?

NEW: analysis of millions of books published over the centuries suggests western society is shifting away from a culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion. I think this is one of the most important challenges facing us today.

Fantastiska Malin, vila i frid! 💙

📢Time to submit your abstract to #EGU2024! Please consider our session: "The atmospheric water cycle under change: feedbacks, land use, hydrological changes and implications"! 🌳☀️🌧️🌍🧑‍🌾 Deadline:🗓️10 Jan 13:00 CET. Welcome! meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/…

Malin, you meant so much to so many people around the world. You mean a tonne to me. The pain I feel in my chest refuses to go away. In life, they called you Madame Evergreen. You will always be. 💙😭

"Nature in its healthy state aids carbon sequestration, but there is a limit to how much stress it can handle" - @jrockstrom. Check out our @copreshub panel session on climate and biosphere resilience, hosted by @lan_wang and @cibqueiroz: buff.ly/47RdvbT

1/ Multiple postdocs in #EarthSystemScience available in team spanning @ANUFennerSchool and @sthlmresilience! With collaborators @BeatriceCrona @juanrocha @lan_wang @TanyaFiedler

It is easy to think that we exist in a time where there is no hope. But is this the only way to view the world? Join us in a talk with lauded author @RebeccaSolnit and others, to learn of some real reasons to hold on hope. 📆 9 Nov 🕙 10.00-17.00 CEST 🔗 buff.ly/3Shcwx4

We finally have a scientific health check for the entire planet! 6 of 9 planetary boundaries currently transgressed. This does not mean irreversible collapse, but we are losing resilience. We are putting the stability of the entire earth system at risk.

MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed. For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others. Read more: buff.ly/45Ps1QG
