Press Enquiries:

Johan Rockström is an internationally recognized scientist on global sustainability issues. He led the development of the Planetary Boundaries framework for human development in the current era of rapid global change. He is a leading scientist on global water resources, with more than 25 years experience in applied water research in tropical regions, and more than 150 research publications in fields ranging from applied land and water management to global sustainability.

In addition to his research endeavours, which has been widely used to guide policy, Rockström is active as a consultant for several governments and business networks. He also acts as an advisor for sustainable development issues at international meetings including the World Economic Forum, the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conferences (UNFCCC). Professor Rockström chairs the advisory board for the EAT Foundation and member of the Earth League and has been appointed as chair of the Earth Commission.

Johan Rockström is deeply involved in numerous research activities covering a broad range of topics related to the Earth System and global sustainability in the Anthropocene. The following six selected examples highlight the diversity of his portfolio, while at the same time sharpening the view on his overarching research question: “What is the safe operating space for Humanity's future on Earth, and what are the sustainable transformations that can take us there?”

1. Earth Resilience in the Anthropocene (ERA)

Johan Rockström leads the ERA project, a European Research Council advanced grant, carried out as a joint project between the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and the Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC).


Without global-scale social transformations, there is a real risk of crossing tipping points in the Earth System, triggering abrupt and irreversible changes. Although we are aware of the importance of nonlinear social and biophysical dynamics, we remain trapped in linear thinking. The goal of the ERA project is to explore the biophysical and social determinants of the Earth’s long-term stability, and in the process build up a novel community-modelling platform to analyse nonlinearity and abrupt shifts, that can inform global sustainability policy processes.

2. Advancing the Planetary Boundaries framework

Johan Rockström leads the international research network advancing the planetary boundaries framework, together with the core research hubs at SRC (led by Sarah Cornell) and PIK (led by Jonathan Donges). This research ranges from Earth system modelling of interactions among planetary boundaries, to transformation scenarios for world development within planetary boundaries (connected to TWI2050, see below). It also includes projects aimed at operationalising the planetary boundaries framework (e.g., in New Zealand).

3. Global Commons Alliance

PIK is a founding member of the Global Commons Alliance. The global commons are our shared climate, freshwater, forests and wetlands, ocean and the rich diversity of life. All are vital to our survival. They regulate the stability and resilience of Earth and are the foundation of the global economy and modern society. They are also undergoing profound changes. The stability of Earth’s life support system is at risk. The purpose of the Global Commons Alliance is to empower citizens, cities, companies and countries to become stewards of our global commons.

The Global Commons Alliance is made up of 4 key components:

With Johan Rockström as Co-Chair and Ricarda Winkelmann as a member, PIK is playing a central role in the Earth Commission. There, scientists are synthesizing the latest research to define conditions for a healthy planet, informing the setting of science-based targets, to help maintain Earth’s life support systems: climate, land, biodiversity, freshwater and oceans. Future Earth will host the Earth Commission’s scientific secretariat in collaboration with PIK, and International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). The Commission will inform the setting of science-based targets for companies and cities.

For the first time, the Science Based Targets Network will define science-based targets for nature for companies and cities. This work builds on the success of the Science Based Targets Intiative for climate to also incorporate land, biodiversity, freshwater and the ocean, in close collaboration with the Earth Commission, incorporating the latest scientific advances.

  • Earth HQ: A creative agency driving major media partnerships and creating products and tools to support a transformation of worldviews.
  • Systems Change Lab: The Systems Change Lab will monitor the progress of transformations around the world, distill our rapidly evolving understanding of what constitutes and promotes systemic change, identify critical gaps, and mobilize support for coalitions as they push towards tipping points.

4. The World in 2050 (TWI2050)

The TWI2050 initiative, launched by the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN), the Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and the Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC), involves a over 70 partners and contributors from a wide range of disciplines, including the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK).

The overall objective of TWI2050 is to explore sustainable development pathways (SDPs), using sustainable transformation scenarios, of how to achieve the SDGs whilst remaining within Planetary Boundaries by 2030, and against a backdrop of continuing world development by 2050 and beyond. This should ultimately provide much needed information and guidance for policy makers responsible for the implementation of the SDGs.

5. EAT– the Science-Based Global Platform for Food System Transformation

   

The EAT Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization based in Oslo, Norway and was founded in 2013 by the Stordalen Foundation, the Wellcome Trust and Stockholm Resilience Centre. EAT promotes integrated research for healthy and sustainable diets and food systems that contribute to attaining the SDGs and the Paris Climate Agreement. Johan Rockström is a member of the Board of Trustees and chairs the EAT Advisory Board, which provides strategic advice on the organization’s research priorities, activities and long-term strategy.

Together with Walter Willett, Johan co-chaired the EAT-Lancet Commission, which brought together more than 30 world-leading scientists from across the globe to reach a scientific consensus on what defines a healthy and sustainable diet. In January 2019, the commission launched the EAT-Lancet Report, which describes how a planetary health diet could feed 10 billion people healthily within our planet’s boundaries.

6. Green Water to Attain SDG Goals in Africa: Integrated Analysis for Food and Water Resilience

This project – funded by FORMAS, the Swedish research council for sustainable development – started in early 2019. Johan Rockström is the principal investigator collaborating with Dr. Ingo Fetzer from SRC, Prof. Malin Falkenmark from SIWI and researchers from the US Geological Survey as well as from PIK.

Sub-Saharan Africa, where malnourishment, poverty and population growth are the highest in the world, is subject to extreme water variability and scarcity. This project aims to explore how much green water (rainwater stored in the root zone of soil) is required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals until 2030 (extended to 2050), and how much is available under different climate scenarios. The project makes use of a green-blue water framework model, in combination with an integrated biosphere model. It also explores management potentials and strategies to secure green and blue water for food (building water resilience), while maintaining the capacity of landscapes to both provide ecosystem services and generate moisture feedback.
