Urgent Actions Needed to Secure Equitable Future for Humanity and Planet, Scientists Warn

A new report highlights the necessity of transforming economic systems and technologies to manage Earth's resources more fairly.

The report, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, emphasizes that Earth's ability to provide a basic standard of living is at risk without dramatic changes.
Scientists from the Earth Commission found that most vital planetary boundaries have already been surpassed, threatening the stability of Earth's systems.
Key recommendations include reducing inequalities in resource access, setting science-based environmental targets, and investing in sustainable technologies.
Cities and businesses are identified as crucial players in reducing environmental impact and leading the transformation towards a more sustainable future.
The study warns that without urgent action, by 2050 there will be no 'safe and just space' left for humans to thrive, even at a basic living standard.
