Data Freshness Note

This data is not live. It represents the most recent data currently available to us. Some planetary boundaries update annually, while others may take several years to update. We are working toward more frequent updates over the coming year. For the most current official data, visit the Official Planetary Health Check.

⚠️ 2030 Projection Warning

If current trends continue without significant intervention, we project 7 planetary boundaries will remain transgressed by 2030. Ozone depletion and aerosol loading remain stable or are improving due to coordinated global action—a rare success story. However, without urgent intervention on climate, biodiversity, and biogeochemical flows, we risk triggering irreversible tipping points. The time to act is now.

Human activities have pushed Earth beyond its Safe Operating Space.

Since 2009, we have moved from 4 to 7 transgressed boundaries.
