The concept of Planetary Boundaries was developed in 2009 and talks about 9 ways in which we can overshoot the ecological boundaries of our planet. Their research was published in Nature and has developed ever since. It is a very interesting and broad concept that grasps the biggest stressors of the ecological crisis and therefore provides a solid base for further discussion.
