From Planetary Boundaries to Planetary Politics Denmark
By trying to solve one crisis without consideration for the others, we risk exceeding the limits of the planet's carrying capacity.
We need a new approach to policy development and resource management across climate, nature and the environment - in Denmark and globally. Planetary policy, i.e. policy that creates sustainable societies within planetary boundaries, represents a crucial step towards addressing the urgent challenges facing our planet today.
The project "From planetary boundaries to planetary policy" aims to create and disseminate knowledge on how to develop policy in line with planetary boundaries in Denmark and globally.
Until the end of 2026, CONCITO will conduct analyses of how the different boundaries affect each other and the associated consequences for human society. The project's task is to continuously gather and present the most important insights from scientific research - especially within Earth System Science - relevant for policy development that can ensure a stable national and global environmental and climate state.
The project will also be used to bridge the gap between the latest scientific research and political, private, and civil society decision-makers.
