Finally published! We show how accounting for conditions at the origin of rain increases #Risk to #water security worldwide. Think Upwind instead of only Upstream! nature.com/articles/s44221-0… Thanks J.Posada, @lan_wang, MCRulli, @SalazarJuanF @BolinCentre @sthlmresilience @polimi

Human activities have radically altered the global freshwater cycle, exceeding the planetary boundary by the mid-20th century.
For nearly a century, our actions have disrupted Earth's freshwater system, diverging from pre-industrial stability.

Congrats to the Anthropocene Laboratory on its inauguration!
The new research lab was formally opened at the @ScienceAcad_swe in the presence of HRH Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden.
We look forward to further explore human-nature interactions in the biosphere!
ALT Director of Anthropocene Laboratory, Henrik Österblom, is opening the inauguration in front of an audience in the Beijer Hall at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.

Malin, you meant so much to so many people around the world. You mean a tonne to me. The pain I feel in my chest refuses to go away. In life, they called you Madame Evergreen. You will always be. 💙😭
It is with deep sadness we have learned that water pioneer Malin Falkenmark has passed away.
Her work helped envision water as the ‘bloodstream of the biosphere’. At the Centre, she was an inspiring teacher and mentor for many.

It is easy to think that we exist in a time where there is no hope. But is this the only way to view the world?
Join us in a talk with lauded author @RebeccaSolnit and others, to learn of some real reasons to hold on hope.

We finally have a scientific health check for the entire planet! 6 of 9 planetary boundaries currently transgressed. This does not mean irreversible collapse, but we are losing resilience. We are putting the stability of the entire earth system at risk.
All #PlanetaryBoundaries mapped out, six of nine crossed: For the first time, a team of scientists is able to provide a full picture of planetary resilience. Pressure in all those boundary processes is increasing, newly published research shows: pik-potsdam.de/en/news/lates…
ALT Six of nine planetary boundaries are currently transgressed. The length of the wedges symbolizes what the current state of the corresponding process is, in relation to the distance from the planetary boundary (end of the green area) and the Holocene baseline (origin of the diagram). The color symbolizes the risks associated with each. For example, a wedge may be very long because the current state is already very far from the planetary boundary and the Holocene. But it may still not be purple, because that is not yet associated with very high risks in this particular case. In other cases already a "small" overshoot (short wedge) results in a big risk: Then the color further inside already changes to purple.

MAJOR UPDATE: All planetary boundaries are assessed, and six are crossed.
For the first time ever, scientists have quantified all nine planetary boundaries. Six of them are already transgressed and we are increasing pressure on the others.

A major milestone. Global science assessment of the Earth Commission gives us numbers for a Just World on a Safe Planet. Justice tightens the safe space. This science translates into targets for action on Climate, Nature, Water, Nutrients & Air Pollution
