BREAKING BOUNDARIES - JOHAN ROCKSTRÖM OWEN GAFF...

On the brink of a critical moment in human history  this book presents a vision of planetary
stewardship - a rethinking of our relationship with our planet - and plots a new course for our
future. The authors  whose work is the subject of a new Netflix documentary released in summer
2021 and narrated by Sir David Attenborough  reveal the full scale of the planetary emergency
we face - but also how we can stabilise Earth's life support system. The necessary change is
within our power if we act now. In 2009  scientists identified nine planetary boundaries that
keep Earth stable  ranging from biodiversity to ozone. Beyond these boundaries lurk tipping
points. To stop short of these tipping points  the 2020s must see the fastest economic
transition in history. This book demonstrates how societies are reaching positive tipping
points that make this transition possible: Activism groups such as Extinction Rebellion  or the
schoolchildren inspired by Greta Thunberg demand political action  countries are committing to
eliminating greenhouse gas emissions  and one tipping point has even already passed - the price
of clean energy has dropped below that of fossil fuels. Inside the pages of this
scientifically-led publication  world-leading climate-change experts explain the greatest
crisis humanity has ever faced. - Expert-authored text in an accessible style for both adults 
and children ages 14+ - A breakdown of the 9 planetary boundaries for relative stability on
Earth  ranging from biodiversity to the ozone layer - An exploration of climate tipping points
