Like with climate change, the planetary boundaries “observe” that human economies emit pollutants or extract resources or otherwise harm environmental systems in a way that is unsustainable.</p> <p>The 9 Planetary Boundaries were identified by the <a href="https://www.stockholmresilience.org/" target="[object Object]">Stockholm Resilience Center</a>. The main focus of each of the Planetary Boundaries is a key change in the environment caused by human society, that if surpassing the “Safe operating space” could cause serious negative consequences. The goal of the Planetary Boundaries model is to make the use of natural resources by human society within the limits of the natural environment. </p> <p>The Planetary Boundaries model is useful if you are framing your knowledge intervention around scientific knowledge gaps on Wikipedias, rather than human development or human rights knowledge gaps. </p> <p><img height="567" width="600" src="/static/PB_2022_green_water__1_.png" alt="A graphic illustrating the planetary boundaries model" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">A graphic describing the Planetary Boundaries model for measuring sustainability. Notice how we have surpassed the natures tolerance for most resources measured in the model.</p> <p></p>" |
