Widespread mortality of warm-water coral reefs is now underway as the world reaches its first climate tipping point. The Global Tipping Points Report 2025, released today by the University of Exeter and international partners including the Stockholm Resilience Centre, underlines that the only way to avert catastrophe is to act urgently, triggering so-called “positive tipping points.”

Five of the seven breached planetary boundaries are linked to food systems. By transforming production and adopting a “planetary health diet,” we can halve food-related climate emissions and prevent millions of deaths, according to the 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission.

In the quest for sustainability within our food systems, changing eating habits has become a critical goal. While various governance strategies have been proposed to facilitate this shift, their effectiveness can vary widely.

While “futuristic” factory-produced foods continue to capture headlines and investor enthusiasm, they may be diverting attention and funding away from more immediate, scalable solutions to transform our food systems. That is one of the warnings from Anne-Charlotte Bunge, whose new PhD-thesis examines what Food Tech is, who the key actors behind it are, and the potential sustainability performance of some of the products.

Rising seas due to climate change threaten China’s rapidly developing coasts. However, coastal policy decisions will shape who and what is exposed to those rising seas and how much the land sinks, a new research paper published in Nature reveals. “Climate change is global, but coastal risk plays out locally”, the international team of Chinese and European researchers emphasize.

A major new scientific review, “Planetary Health Check 2025”, shows that seven of nine planetary boundaries have now been exceeded. For the first time, this also includes the boundary for ocean acidification. This means that several of Earth’s life-supporting systems risk crossing critical thresholds, with severe consequences for both ecosystems and societies.

A new study reveals that Sweden has a high potential to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 through changes in its food system. Key strategies include adjusting diets, phasing out fossil fuels across the food chain and reducing food waste. Together, they can help us stay within the planetary boundary for climate and improve people’s health.

Finance actively shapes the Earth. By steering flows of money, providing insurance, and controlling costs of credit the financial system promotes activities and builds infrastructure than can either erode or enhance nature. A new perspective on sustainable finance argues that as long as nature is ignored, finance will erode nature and increase systemic risks. However if ecological realities are used to steer the flows of money, finance can still become a powerful lever for supporting humanity’s ecological life-support systems.

In December 2022, 196 parties adopted the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), a landmark agreement under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity designed to tackle the global nature crisis through 23 ambitious targets. Since then, governments and communities worldwide have been seeking effective pathways to accelerate its implementation.

Cod in the Barents Sea, tuna across the high seas, and herring in the Baltic may seem like separate stories. Yet they highlight a common problem: overfishing continues not because there are no rules, but because of how governance, power, and cooperation function around them. A new thesis shows that the sustainability of industrial fisheries depends as much on trust, transparency, and collective action as on quotas and stock assessments.

About 20% and 50% of the freshwater required for soy and beef exports to China and the EU rely on river basins in Brazil with high or critical water scarcity. New research published during the World Water Week in Stockholm recommends actions to stay within the planetary boundaries of fresh water.

An analysis of 50 years of data from 175 countries shows that shocks tend to co-occur more frequently in certain regions, such as Asia and Africa. Climatic, technological, and conflict-related shocks also often coincide, highlighting the need for smarter crisis management to prevent these shocks from amplifying one another.
