With new data showing that novel entities have exceeded critical thresholds, now is a critically important time to understand the changing human impacts on our planet, and to learn about how we can respond.

Professor Steffen will provide an introduction to the concept of Planetary Boundaries, then discuss the status of the different boundaries including climate change, biodiversity and novel entities. He will explain the most recent research that has shown that humanity has crossed the critical threshold now for novel entities, and discuss how various institutions and programs around the world are responding.
