Growing environmental degradation and climate instability have pushed the Earth beyond a series of safe planetary boundaries.

But it still remains possible to carve out a “safe and just space” that would enable everyone to thrive.

That utopian outcome would depend on a radical transformation of global politics, economics and society to ensure a fairer distribution of resources.

The authors said the current global situation of worsening inequality and rising nationalist politics may not seem conducive to achieving the just and safe plan laid out.

But governments can change and so can public opinion particularly at a time of intensifying climate stress.

“If you are a patriot who wants to reduce migration flows, then you had better take global justice seriously,” Rockström said.
