Projections of Earth’s health under different environmental policies
Nature, Published online: 21 May 2025; doi:10.1038/d41586-025-01480-7Model-based scenarios of Earth’s future suggest that in the next few decades, eight of the nine planetary boundaries — safety limits for environmental pressure — could be crossed. However, targeted interventions, such as stringent climate policies and dietary shifts, could halt further degradation. Urgent action and time would be needed to return within all planetary boundaries.
