Abstract

The article focuses on a "scientific health check" indicating that Earth's life-support systems have moved beyond the safe operating space for humanity due to imbalanced interactions with nature, resulting in threats like climate change. It highlights that six out of nine key planetary boundaries have been exceeded due to human activities, potentially leading to catastrophic consequences, including extreme climate events, and marks the possible dawn of the Anthropocene epoch.
