“We are on a very dangerous path now to disaster.” – Professor Johan Rockström

At New York Climate Week, the science is front and centre. New data released shows that seven of the nine planetary boundaries have now been breached. The latest is ocean acidification. This represents a profound shift. Humanity is moving out of the safe operating space that sustains life as we know it.

The risks of climate tipping points, from Amazon rainforest dieback to Atlantic current collapse, continue to rise rapidly with no hint of reversal.

Professor Rockström stressed, this is not just about the planet. Human health itself is under threat because of the impact on our bodies due to temperature rise and unravelling ecosystems.

Yet despite this stark reality, tens of thousands are here in New York to work on solutions, to build momentum, and to refuse paralysis. The determination in the rooms I’ve been in is clear. Business, science, and civil society know what’s at stake. They are mobilising and collaborating to act.

The question remains: will political leadership listen to the new evidence published in the Planetary Health Check, or push back on the scale of the crisis?
