TL;DR: Identifying and quantifying planetary boundaries that must not be transgressed could help prevent human activities from causing unacceptable environmental change, argue Johan Rockstrom and colleagues.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a new approach to global sustainability in which they define planetary boundaries within which they expect that humanity can operate safely. But the proposed concept of "planetary boundaries" lays the groundwork for shifting our approach to governance and management, away from the essentially sectoral analyses of limits to growth aimed at minimizing negative externalities, toward the estimation of the safe space for human development.

TL;DR: Identifying and quantifying planetary boundaries that must not be transgressed could help prevent human activities from causing unacceptable environmental change, argue Johan Rockstrom and colleagues as discussed by the authors, who identify and quantify planetary boundaries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the emerging linkages and complementarities between the concepts of resilience and vulnerability to identify areas of synergy, with regard to theory, methodology, and application.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of globalization on the resilience, vulnerability, and adaptability of coupled human-environment systems (SESs) have been discussed, and the authors argue that socioeconomic resilience regularly substitutes for biophysical resilience in SESs with consequences that are often unforeseen.
