🇸🇪 Exciting Afternoon!🤝
Today, we had the honor of hosting a delegation from the @SwedeninKE at our offices to discuss potential collaborations on #AnticipatoryAction in the #HornofAfrica. The discussions revolved around proactive approach to mitigating the impact of crises before they unfold.
Earth’s ‘vital signs’ worse than at any time in human history, scientists warn theguardian.com/environment/…

The Doughnut's ecological ceiling just got updated and the news is not good.
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.

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.
🌍✨ Join us in Nairobi at #ACS2023 as Ulrika, representing the Swedish embassy, shares her insightful reflections on how the African Climate Summit shines brilliantly in the global conversation on climate change.
Together, we can shape a sustainable future. 🌿
