Climate change, biodiversity loss, inequality, and human well-being are deeply interconnected. Real progress depends on solutions that reflect that reality.
Join us in London!

London Climate Action Week is almost here, & Commission members will be part of the conversation.
Together with partners, we'll explore how systems approaches can connect challenges to create greater impact.
We'll also discuss what a safe & just world could look like.
The week also reinforced the value of meeting face to face: deeper debate, clearer thinking, and stronger scientific collaboration. 🤝
Can we achieve high prosperity and equality for all while staying within planetary boundaries?
The World Inequality Lab's new Global Justice Report says yes — but only if 3 things are met together:
1️⃣ Fast decarbonization
2️⃣ Shift from overconsumption to "sufficiency"
3️⃣ Swift reduction in inequality
Last week, members of the Earth Commission gathered in person at @tsinghuauniversity.bsky.social in Beijing 🌐
Commissioners and contributors advanced work on updating the Safe and Just Earth System Boundaries, tackled complex research questions, and refined priorities for the months ahead.
This lines up with the Commission's work on Safe and Just Boundaries, which shows justice is essential for both planetary safety and human well-being.
Both reach the same conclusion: we need transformative change and must reduce inequalities.

The discussions brought us closer to completing our next assessment of global boundaries & deepened understanding of the societal changes needed to reduce risk, improve wellbeing, & stay within planetary limits.
A new UN report, “Counting What Counts”, rethinks progress beyond GDP. It proposes indicators for well-being, fairness & a healthy planet.
The Commission contributed via Safe and Just world framing and now an intergovernmental process is now underway with civil society.
