This and the previous talks relate to the 'land system change' planetary boundary, defined as "The transformation of natural landscapes, such as through deforestation and urbanization, disrupts habitats and biodiversity and diminishes ecological functions like carbon sequestration and moisture recycling. Globally, the remaining forest areas in tropical, boreal, and temperate biomes have fallen below safe levels" (Stockholm Resilience Center, 2025).
Hope you can join us for this webinar session on April 29th!
