Please join us for a presentation about the state of the earth’s environment by NCCCA president Joe Houde. This is the second of a three-part series. In part two we will further examine six planetary boundaries (PBs): biodiversity, freshwater, land systems, nutrient cycles, novel entities, and atmospheric aerosol loading. “Tipping Points” and “Overshoot” will also be covered. We will conclude by exploring how PBs can be used as a framework to spur action needed for improvements in prioritizing improved health, a green economy, social equity, and achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
