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!

Warning: If you find this video #Boring ...
you may be never have the opportunity to complain again about the cost of measures taken to mitigate #ClimateChange !

If you're not up to date with the financial repercussions of the #ClimateEmergency you may want to watch this video before the main one:

Quote by JHaT:
"12 mei 2024
If you want to know the truth...FOLLOW THE MONEY! The people who control the world's money rely on financial risk assessors to give them accurate data about future scenarios that could adversely affect their vast portfolios. The message coming from those risk assessors right now is...your money is in grave danger if the world does not act urgently to mitigate the worst consequences of our rapidly warming climate. Now a new report sets the challenge out in painful detail."

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

A graph visualising safe and just boundaries. It is a circle divided into 8 segments - climate, functional integrity, natural ecosystem areas, surface water, groundwater, nitrogen, phosphorus, aerosols - with a green doughnut shape around the middle indicating a safe and just corridor within earth system boundaries, with red lines showing safe and blue one just boundaries where they don't align. An earth symbol on each segment shows where we are actually at - aerosols fine, climate still within red line (safe) but already above blue line (just); remaining already far over both safe and just

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."
