Abstract Humanity faces an unprecedented survival challenge: climate change, driven by the depletion of natural resources, excessive waste generation, and deforestation. Six out nine planetary boundaries have been exceeded, signaling that Earth is far from a safe operating space for humanity. In this Viewpoint Article we explore three critical “atomic‐molecular” challenges: Earth's limited atomic its oxidative nature, very rich chemistry. Addressing these requires transformation in how produce consume, emphasizing sustainable practices aligned with United Nations’ 17 goals. The advancement science technology has extended human life expectancy improved quality life. However, to ensure future, must move towards less chemical processes, incorporate CH 4 −CO 2 redox chemistry into circular economy, transition linear, fossil fuel‐dependent economy bioeconomy. Reforestation recovery degraded lands are essential, alongside shift green dynamic governed principles thermodynamics kinetics, but alone insufficient. Achieving global sustainability coordinated economic, political, social decisions recognize resources nature. Together, efforts will position humanity meet challenges change secure future.
