Abstract
We live in extraordinary times. The vast global crisis of sustainability
manifests itself on multiple frontiers. For the first time in human history,
we are at risk of crossing multiple planetary boundaries related to Earth
system processes critical to our future survival. The recent global
assessment of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on
Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services estimates that more than 1 million
species are at risk of extinction, threatening the safety nets that protect the
livelihoods and food security of millions of people across the world. Effects
of global warming by more than 1°C are increasingly making their
consequences felt in a wide range of natural disasters. The severity of these
impacts is bound to accelerate in the coming years.
