#ClimateChange #Environment #PlanetaryBoundaries - Exploring pathways for world development within planetary boundaries - "Targeted interventions, such as implementing the Paris climate agreement, a shift to a healthier diet, improved food, and water- and nutrient-use efficiency, can effectively reduce the degree of transgression of the planetary boundaries, steering humanity towards a more sustainable trajectory (that is, if they can be implemented based on social and institutional feasibility considerations). However, even in this scenario, several planetary boundaries, including climate change, biogeochemical flows and biodiversity, will remain transgressed in 2050, partly as result of inertia. This means that more-effective policy measures will be needed to ensure we are living well within the planetary boundaries." - van Vuuren, D.P., Doelman, J.C., Schmidt Tagomori, I. et al.

Scientists have identified nine planetary boundaries that help regulate a livable planet. Human activities have pushed six of those nine critical Earth systems beyond safe limits, threatening the stability of life as we know it.

@martinsteiger grosse Grundsatzfragen, aber ja, klar, so viel Wohlstand und meinetwegen so viel Verkehr für so viele Leute wie möglich ... im Rahmen der #planetaryboundaries. Die Physik wird da ziemlich unerbittlich

As #climate, so #biodiversity, and the other #PlanetaryBoundaries.

Excellent documentary explaining how climate tipping points work and why scientists are so worried by 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming

Atmospheric #CarbonRemoval through “Climate plantations” (bioenergy with carbon capture and storage #BECCS) is limited within #PlanetaryBoundaries, a new PIK study shows. But a more plant-based diet worldwide could free up significant areas.

The Lancet Planetary Health | Post-growth: the science of wellbeing within #PlanetaryBoundaries—New paper by Giorgos Kallis, Jason Hickel, Daniel W O’Neill, Tim Jackson, Peter Victor, Kate Raworth, Juliet Schor, Julia Steinberger, Diana Urge-Vorsatz → https://cusp.ac.uk/themes/aetw/lancet-post-growth
This comprehensive new review explores the rapidly advancing field of #postgrowth research and presents a compelling case for prioritising human wellbeing and ecological sustainability over endless economic expansion.
Just a reminder. The world is burning, not just #LosAngeles.
This is not normal. Its the impact that has #ClimateChange on us.
It's the attribution of our way to ignore planetary boundaries again and again.
Act. Now. It's overdue.

Excerpt from "What is #Solarpunk Everything you need to know about solarpunk, how it connects to #ClimateJustice and how to get involved with the movement" by Andrew Sage, published January 16, 2023:
How does solarpunk relate to #degrowth?
"The overlap between solarpunk and the degrowth movement can be found in the understanding that #capitalism’s built-in imperative to grow, expand, exploit, and profit endlessly cannot continue in the context of a #FinitePlanet.
"The degrowth movement is about rejecting the #GlobalCapitalist system’s pursuit of endless growth and advocating for a world based in care, solidarity, and autonomy in which our social and ecological well-being are at the forefront.
"Degrowth means #ClimateJustice and a good life for all within #PlanetaryBoundaries.
"Although aspects of solarpunk and degrowth may benefit from particular government policies, these movements cannot rely on the state. The state is structurally unsuited to ecological restoration, and can even potentially operate as an obstacle.
"The inherently violent and ecocidal character that has marked states from their earliest inception and up to their present incarnations does not lend itself to our liberation. Top-down approaches have consistently failed where local approaches to #rewilding have succeeded.
"The solarpunk movement emphasises local power, local organising, and local #autonomy because the world we envision cannot be imposed from above.
"A forest is more than its trees; ecological restoration requires intimate knowledge with the local nuances of the land, the water cycle, and the network of microorganisms, fungi, plants, and animals that sustain it.
"Our planet will be healed on the #grassroots level. We will need to circumvent the impositions of those in power through direct action to bring a solarpunk world into being."
