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
