Our biosphere is compromised
From a flat to a circular economy
A Planet Under Pressure
Our biosphere is compromised. Human decisions have placed unprecedented pressure on natural systems, pushing ecosystems beyond their capacity to recover.
Global Environmental Warnings
-
68% of wildlife populations have been extinguished by human decisions.
Dr. Anne Carigauderie -
The Amazon habitat is turning into savanna, triggering irreversible changes.
Dr. Carlos Nobre -
River basins and glaciers are disappearing while global water consumption reaches 3,000 liters per person per day, largely driven by animal-based food production.
Dr. Johan Rockström
Agriculture, Oceans, and Ecosystem Collapse
– Agricultural use of phosphorus has quadrupled to increase crop yields, causing eutrophication when washed into ponds, rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Dr. Elena Bennett
– Ocean acidification has increased by 26%, leading to the collapse of coral reef systems.

Climate Extremes and Human Vulnerability
50 million acres were incinerated in Australia, reflecting a global escalation of uncontrolled fires.
Dr. Daniela Teixeira
Population density is no longer sustainable, as demonstrated by COVID-19.

The Carbon Reality
The scale of carbon accumulation is exceeding the planet’s natural capacity to recover.
Atmospheric Overload
3,300 gigatons of CO₂ are currently in our atmosphere.
Greta Thunberg
41.6 gigatons of CO₂ were added last year alone, accumulating faster than natural systems can absorb.
