This despite the fact that it is only staying within the planetary boundaries that can ensure suitable conditions for keeping the biological diversity of our planet at a healthy equilibrium. The repercussions of overstepping these boundaries are already tangible today. The average atmospheric temperatures are steeply increasing, the oceans are acidifying, biodiversity is falling, natural disasters are on the increase—and the truly dire consequences are yet to come. How, then, to think the present?
