What does justice mean when we talk about staying within the limits of the planet? Earth Commissioners presented a refined Justice framework at a conference with Earth System Governance experts last week.

A new paper led by Earth Commission researchers proposes a framework for setting safe and just boundaries for chemicals and materials. Its authors outline a new approach to assess safe and just boundaries and chart transformation pathways toward safer production, use and disposal.

Ocean observations are a window into our changing planet, writes the Commission’s Science Director. Undermining critical monitoring systems means losing our ability to detect and respond to emerging risks.

Science Director Albert Norström answers questions about the Commission’s next phase on updating the Safe and Just Boundaries’ framework, translating it into real-world targets, and how it will guide transformations toward fair, science-based action.

The Commission’s research was presented to one of the UN’s highest-level leadership groups, as Commissioners briefed the Senior Management Group on today’s interconnected global crises.

Five Commissioners are being recognized among Carbon Brief’s most highly cited climate scientists, underscoring the scientific clout and influence behind the Commission’s work.

The latest paper from the Commission lays out its next steps in assessing and updating the Safe and Just Boundaries as well as the transformations that will be needed to safeguard the planet while ensuring well-being for all.

In a new paper, Earth Commission scientists argue how today’s climate scenarios are falling short. They call for a rethink that puts justice, diverse knowledge, and systemic change at the heart of modelling.

A new initiative from the Vatican is bridging science and faith to confront the world’s biggest challenges. Three Commissioners were invited to join its launch and shared how scientific frameworks can guide faith-based actions.

What does a just world on a safe planet look like? And how can we get there without leaving anyone behind? These were some key questions at the heart of a workshop that brought together Earth Commissioners and members of the Transformations Pathway workstream from all corners of the world.
