Planet under Pressure

The 2020s are the make-or-break decade for Sustainability. But Covid-19 questions almost everything. How can we handle increasingly frequent shocks? What can a resilient society and economy that is in line with planetary boundaries look like? These and many other questions are discussed in the new 2020 edition of the Global Goals Yearbook titled “Planet under Pressure”. The Yearbook supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals and is one of the publications in strong international demand.

The World Economic Forums Global Risks Report 2020 is<br />

listing various short-term and long-term risks. They are<br />

grouped into 5 categories: economical, environmental,<br />

geopolitical, societal and technological risks. As part of a<br />

comprehensive 2019-2020 perception survey, key risks were<br />

listed for each of these categories according to probability<br />

and impact. The ESG Stress Test is using these risks and<br />

categories by using scenario techniques including checks of<br />

plausibility, consistency and decision-making utility.<br />

Visualization based on the planetary boundaries concept,<br />

which involves Earth system processes as well as environmental,<br />

social, and governance boundaries.<br />
