#StopFoodWasteDay2025

[The Earth Commission @SafeJustPlanet]

There are systemic risks for the planet in the food system: contamination of land & water, surplus greenhouse gas emissions, excessive food waste.

For #StopFoodWasteDay, we wanted to share our 2024 webinar, ‘Accelerating transformation with positive food system #TippingPoints’.

Our Science Director Albert Norström recently spoke at @sthlmresilience’s open seminar, ‘Investing in Nature for Human Prosperity’.

The session covered sustainability challenges like deforestation - and how to reverse it.

Established last year, the Earth Commission workstreams will refine the #SafeAndJust boundaries, while also expanding them into new key areas of the Earth system, like the ocean and novel entities.

When we talk about #SafeAndJust boundaries, we’re talking about the limits for the planet to not just survive, but thrive. Whether it’s our work on aerosol pollutants, or our research into nutrient cycles (fertilizers), health is at the core of all that we do.

Our work focuses on #SafeAndJustBoundaries, but how do they relate to #PlanetaryBoundaries & #TippingPoints?

This @WEF article explains these 3 key frameworks, outlining how important they are for understanding Earth’s natural systems.

Last week we co-hosted the #TippingPoints webinar, ‘AMOC Tipping Point: Impacts on Climate and Extreme Events’.

The AMOC plays a crucial role in regulating Earth’s climate but recent research suggests this vital ocean currents system may be closer to collapse than once thought.

It was great participating in @globalcommonshq's workshop at @villarsideas.

The 1st session included our Co-Chair @jrockstrom on the urgency of bringing planetary science to bear through policy & governance. Thanks to all who joined last week!

In the words of Earth Commissioner @dobura: “We need to understand what constitutes a healthy ocean ecosystem. Ocean biomes are far larger than those on land, and their health is fundamental to the overall functioning of the planet.”

A new working group within the Earth Commission will define the first ever #SafeAndJust boundaries for the ocean. 📷

The ocean is crucial for life on Earth, but it is under threat. Pollution, climate change, and overfishing are taking a toll on marine ecosystems.

TOMORROW: Don’t miss our webinar on the AMOC #TippingPoint. What is the risk of a potential collapse, and what would it mean for Europe’s climate and extreme weather?

As tomorrow marks #InternationalDayOfForests and #DayForGlaciers, it’s worth remembering that forests & ice sheets are both global commons.

The #GlobalCommons must be protected, ensuring life doesn’t just survive, but thrives, on Earth.
