How healthy is our planet?
A new report indicates Earth's health is critical, with seven of nine planetary boundaries breached, including biosphere integrity, nutrient cycles, and climate change. Excessive nitrogen and phosphorus disrupt ecosystems, while novel substances pose unforeseen risks. While air pollution decreases and the ozone layer recovers, interconnected challenges require comprehensive solutions for planetary well-being.
