societal determinants

At the very top, what organizes our societies: our ways of seeing the world, our rules, our institutions. At the very bottom, us: our health, our food, our safety.

Main sources: IPBES (2019, 2020, 2023, 2024) · Planetary Health Check 2025, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Stockholm Resilience Centre · Richardson et al., Science Advances (2023) · IPCC AR6 WGII and WGIII (2022) · Chancel, Nature Sustainability (2022) · Lefebvre, Sortir de l'impasse (2016). Each card names its own source.

Each card links to its source and, where they exist, to examples already under way. Links open in a new tab. The state of the planetary boundaries is reassessed every autumn: the statuses shown are those of September 2025.

Each card also carries its level of consensus, which qualifies its central claim and not the phenomenon it describes. Cards marked contested carry a minority claim, or a Pareto position: they are flagged as such rather than removed. The filter finds them if you type the word.
