Degrowth is a planned reduction of energy and resource use designed to bring the economy back into balance with living world in way that reduces inequality improves human well-being. Over past few years, idea has attracted significant attention among academics social movements, but for people new it raises number questions. Here I set out clarify three specific issues: (1) specify what degrowth means, argue framing an asset, not liability; (2) explain how differs fundamentally from recession; (3) affirm primarily focused on high-income nations, explore implications global South.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is challenging the world. With no vaccine and limited medical capacity to treat disease, nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPI) are main strategy contain pandemic. Unprecedented global travel restrictions stay-at-home orders causing most severe disruption of economy since World War II. international bans affecting over 90% world population wide-spread on public gatherings community mobility, tourism largely ceased in March 2020. Early evidence impacts air travel, cruises, accommodations have been devastating. While highly uncertain, early projections from UNWTO for 2020 suggest arrivals could decline by 20 30% relative 2019. Tourism especially susceptible measures counteract pandemics because restricted mobility social distancing. paper compares COVID-19 previous epidemic/pandemics other types crises explores how pandemic may change society, economy, tourism. It discusses why an analogue ongoing climate crisis, there a need question volume growth model advocated UNWTO, ICAO, CLIA, WTTC organizations.

Climate tipping points occur when change in a part of the climate system becomes self-perpetuating beyond warming threshold, leading to substantial Earth impacts. Synthesizing paleoclimate, observational, and model-based studies, we provide revised shortlist global "core" elements regional "impact" their temperature thresholds. Current ~1.1°C above preindustrial temperatures already lies within lower end some point uncertainty ranges. Several may be triggered Paris Agreement range 1.5 <2°C warming, with many more likely at 2 3°C expected on current policy trajectories. This strengthens evidence base for urgent action mitigate develop improved risk assessment, early warning capability, adaptation strategies.

The rapid anthropogenic climate change that is being experienced in the early twenty-first century intimately entwined with health and functioning of biosphere. Climate impacting ecosystems through changes mean conditions variability, coupled other associated such as increased ocean acidification atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations. It also interacts pressures on ecosystems, including degradation, defaunation fragmentation. There a need to understand ecological dynamics these impacts, identify hotspots vulnerability resilience management interventions may assist biosphere change. At same time, can mitigation of, adaptation to, mechanisms, potential limits nature-based solutions be explored quantified. This paper introduces thematic issue dedicated interaction between explores novel perspectives how respond change, ecosystem enhanced addressing challenge changing climate. draws Royal Society-National Academy Sciences Forum held Washington DC November 2018, where themes issues were discussed. We conclude by identifying some priorities for academic research practical implementation, order maximize maintaining diverse, resilient well-functioning under challenging century. article part theme ‘Climate ecosystems: threats, opportunities solutions’.

Abstract The stability and resilience of the Earth system human well-being are inseparably linked 1–3 , yet their interdependencies generally under-recognized; consequently, they often treated independently 4,5 . Here, we use modelling literature assessment to quantify safe just boundaries (ESBs) for climate, biosphere, water nutrient cycles, aerosols at global subglobal scales. We propose ESBs maintaining (safe ESBs) minimizing exposure significant harm humans from change (a necessary but not sufficient condition justice) 4 stricter or sets integrated ESB. Our findings show that justice considerations constrain more than safety climate atmospheric aerosol loading. Seven eight globally quantified least two regional in over half land area already exceeded. our provides a quantitative foundation safeguarding commons all people now into future.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed an interconnected and tightly coupled globalized world in rapid change. This article sets the scientific stage for understanding responding to such change global sustainability resilient societies. We provide a systemic overview of current situation where people nature are dynamically intertwined embedded biosphere, placing shocks extreme events as part this dynamic; humanity become major force shaping future Earth system whole; scale pace human dimension have caused climate change, loss biodiversity, growing inequalities, resilience deal with uncertainty surprise. Taken together, actions challenging biosphere foundation prosperous development civilizations. Anthropocene reality-of rising system-wide turbulence-calls transformative towards sustainable futures. Emerging technologies, social innovations, broader shifts cultural repertoires, well diverse portfolio active stewardship support highlighted essential parts transformations.
