Zusammenfassung:
This flagship project will elaborate on the following research questions:
-
What dimension do planetary boundaries (water, land use, nutrients) have if computed spatially explicitly?
-
What metrics are suited to describe the societal relevance of exceeded boundaries?
- How do key boundaries interplay?
- Do global sustainability goals collide?
- Can we stay within planetary boundaries through more effective use of resources (water, land, nutrients)?
- How should an Earth system model be designed to capture the dynamic human–environment co-evolution?
