| Abstract | The Planetary Health Check (PHC) Report
provides an assessment of the state of our planet. It is based on the
Planetary Boundaries (PBs) – the nine processes that are known to
regulate the stability, resilience (ability to absorb disruptions) and
life-support functions of our planet. Each of these processes, such as
Climate Change or Ocean Acidification, is currently quantified by one or
two Control variables. The 2026 PHC report concludes that seven out of
nine Planetary Boundaries have been breached, with all of those seven
showing trends of increasing pressure – suggesting further deterioration
and destabilization of planetary health in the near future. |
