The 9 Planetary Boundaries

The 9 Planetary Boundaries, as they are known, are the 9 fundamental 'Earth Systems' which lie at the core of our planet's continued ability to support life.  If any one or combination are disrupted to any great an extent, the consequences could be catastrophic. They are:-

• Climate Change (the climate changes too much);
• Ozone Loss, loss of the ozone layer / stratosphere
• Freshwater change or loss
• Ocean Acidification 
• Land System Change
• Biogeochemical flows (The connection between life and the environment) 
• Biosphere Integrity (the integrity of land, sea and air)
• Atmosphere Aerosol Loading
• Novel Entities (like toxic materials)

These Boundaries together measure the resillience and stability of Earth Systems and all 9 (except Ozone) have or are at risk of being crossed.
