From climate change to artificial intelligence in military decision-making, a new global assessment finds humanity faces a set of deeply interconnected risks with potentially irreversible consequences. The report calls for stronger, more coordinated global governance to safeguard a stable and prosperous future.

At the UN climate summit in Belém, the Earth Commission highlighted the urgent need to bring together science, justice, public engagement, and political will. With the Amazon nearing a dangerous tipping point, Commissioners and partners stressed that following the science and strengthening governance are essential for a safe and just future.

The Global Commons Alliance is expanding, welcoming new organizations to help protect Earth’s life-support systems and drive equitable, science-based action for a safe and just planet. The Earth Commission will remain a key member to provide the Alliance’s scientific foundation.
