PLANETARY BOUNDARIES

Securing a Safe and Just Operating Space for the Global Commons.

In the inaugural episode of Voice of Commons, launched by UNLESS from the Planetary Embassy at the Venice Biennale, Earth system scientist and Voice of Commons Ambassador Johan Rockström joins host Giulia Foscari to explore the vital role of the Global Commons Antarctica, the Ocean, the Atmosphere, and Outer Space – in sustaining life on Earth. Johan reveals how crossing Planetary Boundaries and triggering Tipping Points risks unravelling the very conditions that make life possible. Together, they make the case for rethinking stewardship and governance before it's too late – and reflect on what it will take to secure a just and safe operating space for All-kind. A powerful conversation with one of the leading voices shaping our understanding of Earth's resilience – and the consequences of pushing it too far.

Johan Rockström is an internationally recognized scientist on global sustainability issues and led the development of the Planetary Boundaries framework for human development in the current era of rapid global change. Johan is the Director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Professor in Earth System Science at the University of Potsdam and Professor in Water Systems and Global Sustainability at the Stockholm University. He is the Chair of the Earth Commission, the Earth League, Chief Scientist of Conservation International, and an elected member of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and a Voice of Commons Ambassador. Johan was born at 320 parts per million carbon dioxide in the Atmosphere.
