A just world on a safe planet: a Lancet Planetary Health–Earth Commission report on Earth-system boundaries, translations, and transformations
The health of the planet and its people are at risk. The deterioration of the global
commons—ie, the natural systems that support life on Earth—is exacerbating energy,
food, and water insecurity, and increasing the risk of disease, disaster, displacement,
and conflict. In this Commission, we quantify safe and just Earth-system boundaries
(ESBs) and assess minimum access to natural resources required for human dignity and
to enable escape from poverty. Collectively, these describe a safe and just corridor
that is essential to ensuring sustainable and resilient human and planetary health
and thriving in the Anthropocene.
