A complex figure showing the state of transgression in 9 planetary boundary dimensions, some subdivided. Six of nine are transgressed, some strongly. Scaling is logarithmic. A green space in the center shows the safe operating space for humanity, where Earth system resilience against human pressure would not be at risk.

   💥 And here you have it:

   The new official "Planetary Boundaries" graphic!

   👉 For the first time, all boundaries have been quantified
   👉 The colour gradients are the same as in the IPCC's "Reasons for Concern", showing increasing risk, not just for climate heating but also other Earth system dimensions
   👉 Scaling is logarithmic beyond each boundary
