The Planet is experiencing another “health check” from a scientific standpoint, but the recent health check indicates increasing stress in some of the natural processes that contribute to stability of the planet. The new report, known as “Planetary Health Check 2026,” published by the Planetary Boundaries Science Lab at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, shows that out of the nine boundaries, seven have already been crossed.
More than 60 scientists were involved in this research on environmental processes that maintain stability on the planet.
