Securing a Safe and Just Corridor for Humanity
Channel: World Economic Forum
Date: 2023-09-19

Join Qin Dahe from the Chinese Academy of Science and Xuemei Bai from Australia National University to explore how science is informing a new generation of interconnected science-based targets to avoid dangerous tipping points and ensure a future in which humans and nature can thrive.

The climate crisis, extreme weather and ecosystem collapse are identified in the Global Risks report 2023 as the biggest threats to humanity’s long-term future. Breaching 1.5°C could trigger multiple climate tipping points in the Earth System risking further tipping cascades, exacerbating inequality around the world and diminishing human wellbeing. We are currently on a trajectory to well above that limit. Scientifically, this is not only a climate crisis, but a planetary and human justice crisis.

This BetaZone raises awareness and supports swift public-private action to return to safe and just Earth system boundaries. We are already outside most of the safe boundaries and all of the just boundaries – with implications for both the civilization of humans alive today, and the future of life on our planet.

The World Economic Forum is the International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation. The Forum engages the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders of society to shape global, regional and industry agendas. We believe that progress happens by bringing together people from all walks of life who have the drive and the influence to make positive change.
