Updated Planetary Boundaries research article published in Science
An international team of researchers, including SAPECS-affiliated scientists Reinette (Oonsie) Biggs and Belinda Reyers, have updated the planetary boundaries that define a "safe operating space" for humanity on Earth.

However, these nine planetary processes have thresholds or tipping points ("boundaries") relating to human-induced changes to the environment. Crossing these thresholds can have dire consequences for human development, [...]
