A circular diagram shows the nine dimensions of the planetary boundaries framework, some subdivided, and the state of their transgression as wedges of various length pointing outward. Their colours change from green to red and purple as the deviation from historical conditions increases. The center of the diagram is green, representing the safe operating space for humanity. Six of nine boundaries are transgressed, some substantially, and only three are still in the safe zone, one just barely.

Exactly a year ago today, our big update of the Planetary Boundaries Framework was published.
It quantified for the first time all 9 planetary boundaries, showed that 6 of 9 are currently transgressed, some substantially, and redefined and refined a few.
The paper has been downloaded a mind-blowing 473.439 times 💥 since then. That's an unbelievably large number for a scientific paper.
Let's draw the conclusions.
We need to re-stabilise 🌍🌎🌏.
