AbstractCities and companies have great potential to reduce pressures on Earth system boundaries. Science-based target setting has emerged as a powerful tool to help achieve the potential, but its uptake has been limited. Moreover, cities and companies usually develop their targets separately, even though many are co-located. Focusing on the top 200 cities and 500 companies by greenhouse gas emissions, we analyse the current state and potential of adopting science-based targets for climate.

AbstractOperating within safe and just Earth system boundaries requires mobilizing key actors across scale to set targets and take actions accordingly.

AbstractSafe and just Earth system boundaries (ESBs) for surface water and groundwater (blue water) have been defined for sustainable water management in the Anthropocene. Here we assessed whether minimum human needs could be met with surface water from within individual river basins alone and, where this is not possible, quantified how much groundwater would be required.

Orang-orang sering menganggap bahwa Bumi selalu bisa memenuhi kebutuhan kita. Ketahanan dalam siklus Bumi kerap ditafsirkan sebagai alam raya yang selalu ‘memberi’. Namun, saat ini anggapan itu tengah diuji. Perkembangan peradaban manusia justru menimbulkan dampak lebih besar. Dalam riset yang terbit 1 Juni lalu, kelompok ilmuwan (termasuk kami) yang tergabung dalam organisasi Earth Commission memetakan delapan batasan yang “aman” dan “adil” di lima sistem yang ada di bumi.
