What are the Planetary Boundaries? A Multichoice Question Exploring the Earth’s Boundary Layer
Weather & ForecastsThe concept of planetary boundaries was first introduced in 2009 by a group of scientists led by Johan Rockström, who argued that humanity has already crossed four of the nine identified planetary boundaries. These boundaries represent the limits within which humanity can safely operate and maintain the Earth system in a stable state. Understanding and
