What do you see as the key objectives of the workshop?

Discover the Planetary Boundaries Framework
Learn to apply systems thinking & inspire action
Foster a sense of community
Make learning engaging & enjoyable

Discover the Planetary Boundaries Framework: Participants will gain a clear understanding of the nine planetary boundaries and why they matter for a stable and resilient Earth.
Think in systems: The world is deeply interconnected. By uncovering cause-and-effect relationships, we learn to see the bigger picture, break free from siloed thinking, and approach sustainability with a systemic mindset.
Foster a sense of community: Change happens together. Through discussion and collaboration, the workshop builds a shared understanding, strengthening connections between participants and inspiring collective action. 🡪 Collective intelligence
Make learning engaging & enjoyable: Serious topics don’t have to feel heavy. The workshop creates an interactive and thought-provoking space where participants can learn, reflect, and enjoy doing it.

Spark curiosity & inspire action: The workshop is designed to awaken curiosity, encouraging participants to dig deeper into environmental challenges and feel empowered to take meaningful action.

10 of 69

What participants should have understood:�

It’s based on science
While our human society relies on a stable and resilient planet, human systems put it under enormous pressure.
Two primary drivers of overshoot: Agriculture and fossil fuel use.
Everything is interconnected, and my future actions can have a positive effect on me and my environment.
Systems change to respect planetary boundaries is urgent, possible and desirable!

11 of 69

What are the different roles we have?

Organiser: logistics, planner, timekeeper, promoter, etc.
Facilitator: create a safe space, keep participants actively engaged, help discussions flow smoothly.
Source of knowledge: try not to lecture, but do challenge, correct, and break impasses.
Representative of the community: help the community grow!

As a facilitator, you play a key role in shaping the workshop experience. Your job isn’t to lecture or provide all the answers – it’s to guide, support, and create a space for meaningful discussions. These are the three main roles:

Organiser: You’re in charge of the logistics: setting up the event, securing a (virtual) space, preparing materials, and keeping track of time. Good planning ensures a smooth and enjoyable session for everyone.
Facilitator: The workshop is built on collective intelligence. Your role is to ensure that all participants are actively engaged, that discussions flow smoothly, and that the atmosphere remains respectful and inclusive. You may need to gently guide conversations, encourage quieter voices, or mediate disagreements – but always with curiosity and kindness.
Source of knowledge: While you should be familiar with the content and structure of the workshop, you’re not there as a lecturer. Instead, your role is to ask thought-provoking questions and help participants connect the dots themselves. If you don’t know the answer to a question, that’s okay! Simply say you’re not sure and that you’ll look into it – but remember, you’re not required to know it all. The facilitator community on Discord is always there to help. [link to discord]

A key principle to remember: Participants should do most of the talking. Your role is to set the stage at the beginning, then guide the process by asking questions – without jumping in too quickly with answers. People often know more than they realise – your job is to help bring it out of them!

The Planetary Boundaries Framework: 9 boundaries to keep Earth stable, resilient and functioning.

Source: Graph inspired on Planetary Health Website (June 2025)

What is the ‘safe operating space' for humanity?

Scientists have been identifying the biophysical processes that maintained the Earth system in its stable, resilient and functioning state during the Holocene, and they try to understand how much pressure each sub-system can handle before putting the stability of the whole at risk. They designed the Planetary Boundaries Framework as a guiding tool for humanity, placing precautionary boundaries on nine key Earth system processes. These nine, so-called planetary boundaries, define the safe operating space for humanity. Meaning that the further human activities operate outside the nine planetary boundaries, the higher the risk of pushing the planet into a radically different climate state. The framework itself does not tell us how our human systems should operate but rather gives insights into whether we have crossed a planetary boundary, and if so, how far.

Scientists have studied the natural systems that regulate the stability of our planet – think land and freshwater systems, oceans, the climate, and more. These systems have helped keep Earth in the favourable climate state we’ve had for the past few thousand years.
To protect these systems, scientists have defined a safe zone, called the “safe operating space” for humanity. For each system, they have set a precautionary boundary that acts as an early warning sign. Staying within these boundaries helps maintain the stable, Holocene-like conditions that allowed human civilisation to thrive.
These boundaries don’t tell us how to live or what choices to make, but they show us how far we can push Earth’s systems without causing serious or irreversible harm.
Time for a question: do we know the difference between a boundary and a limit?
A limit is finite. If you have ten chocolates and you eat them all, there isn't an eleventh one. The term “limit” is often used when referring to limited resources, like fossil fuels or freshwater. A boundary, on the other hand, is more like a fence positioned near an overhanging cliff. It is set at a safe distance. If you cross it, you won’t immediately fall off the cliff, but the closer you get to the edge, the more unstable the ground under you becomes and the higher the risk that you will fall off. Scientists set similar boundaries for the Earth's system to account for uncertainty and allow time to act.
For example, take forests: you can cut down some trees without stressing the whole Earth system. But when about 25% of the global forest cover is lost, we start altering natural cycles – that is where a boundary is set. From there, we’re in a zone of increasing risk. At about 46% forest loss, the land system may lose so much resilience that it could push the entire Earth system into a new, unstable state, one far from the conditions we rely on. That’s the high-risk zone, and it’s a place we want to avoid.
Later in the workshop, you will explore each of the nine planetary boundaries in more detail. But for now, here is the key takeaway: The Holocene gave us the stability to build civilisations, and human activities are now pushing us beyond safe boundaries. The Planetary Boundaries Framework helps us understand how to stay within this safe space – and how we can protect a stable, resilient Earth system for generations to come.

What is the difference between a boundary and a limit?

27 of 69

How would you handle a (difficult) question?

Redirect questions back to the group “What do you think?”
If no one knows, suggest an answer if relevant.
Don’t hesitate to say ‘I don’t know’!
If the question is irrelevant or if you’re out of time, place it in a question “parking lot”.
If the question corresponds to a card, suggest rereading the card.

Phase 2:�Mapping the system�“The card game”

29 of 69

Photo by Julieta Maccarino

The card game explained

Collective intelligence.
41 cards, 5 sets.
Cause-consequence relationships.
Each set introduces 2-3 planetary boundaries, plus many drivers and the consequences of their transgression.
Start by reading the back of the cards out loud.
Planetary boundaries cards have a colourful border and should be placed first in the middle column.

Playfully suggest that participants act as a self-regulating system, ensuring everyone is involved.

30 of 69

The card game explained:

The middle column is divided into three zones: 'safe zone' (green), ‘zone of increasing risk' (yellow), and 'high-risk zone' (red).
Explain the areas on either side of the column.
Remind them to leave enough space for arrows between the cards. It’s less structured than, for example, the Climate Fresk. It’s difficult to group cards, but easy to make a spaghetti of arrows ;-)
They can draw arrows after set 2.

31 of 69

The role of the facilitator during the card game

You facilitate collective intelligence within the group.
Make sure everyone can actively participate.
You are the timekeeper - don't let the group waste time.�

Tips

Keep it interactive - let them do most of the talking
Don’t touch the cards.
Move away to give participants space to collaborate with each other.
Ask thought-provoking questions. Don't worry, we will give you some!
Starting with the boundary cards and reading all cards before placing them speeds up the process a lot.

32 of 69

Pick them up “kindly” to get them to participate as much as possible without making them feel uncomfortable.

How would you handle these participant profiles?

Temper them, be careful not to always give them the floor so as not to overwhelm the group with too much information or a feeling of comparison.

Well-read “expert”

The silent one

Set 1: The link between emissions, climate change and ozone depletion.

See next slide for guiding questions and common mistakes

35 of 69

Set 1: The link between emissions, climate change and ozone depletion.

Check if participants understand:

How the climate change boundary is measured, and what we see because of transgression 🡪 Two indicators: atmospheric CO2 level and radiative forcing.
The origins of the different types of emissions (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, aerosols).
What the ozone layer is, what causes stratospheric ozone depletion, and what the consequences are.
What led to the recovery of the ozone layer 🡪 The Montreal Protocol.

Facilitation notes:

Sometimes we keep behind the “use of chlorofluorocarbons” card and reveal it when discussing the drivers of ozone depletion.
No arrows should be drawn during and after Set 1.

Set 2: The two pillars of transgression and the impacts on biodiversity

See next slide for guiding questions and common mistakes

37 of 69

Set 2: The two pillars of transgression and the impacts on biodiversity

Check if participants understand:

What the biosphere is and how its “integrity” is measured 🡪 Two indicators: functional integrity & genetic diversity.
Which types of emissions originate from agriculture 🡪 Participants sometimes do not associate habitat destruction with deforestation.
Why oceans acidify and what the consequences are for marine organisms 🡪 CO2 absorption of oceans leads to calcification difficulties.

Facilitation notes:

Tell the participants to place the “reduced ecosystem functioning” card centrally.
After discussing this set, participants can draw arrows!

TIP: Check the facilitation guide for more details, questions and common mistakes!

38 of 69

Set 3: Changes on land, in water and their impacts on ecosystems

See next slide for guiding questions and common mistakes

39 of 69

Set 3: Changes on land, in water and their impacts on ecosystems

Check if participants understand:

How humanity disrupts the two different water cycles represented by the freshwater change boundary 🡪 Two indicators: blue & green water.
How the land system change boundary is measured, and why? 🡪 The indicator is forest cover loss / tropical, temperate and boreal forest biomes.
Agriculture is a prime driver of boundary transgression 🡪 Emissions, habitat loss, water footprint, and land use.
Which processes have a negative impact on freshwater resources.

Facilitation notes:

Participants do not need to make all connections, but they need to have enough to understand the key messages – all cards should at least have 1 in and 1 out.

TIP: Check the facilitation guide for more details, questions and common mistakes!

Set 4: Pollution on land, in water and the air, and the impacts on yields

See next slide for guiding questions and common mistakes

41 of 69

Set 4: Pollution on land, in water and the air, and the impacts on yields

Check if participants understand:

What a novel entity is and where the boundary is set 🡪 the card can be placed anywhere above the safe level as no high-risk threshold is defined.
What the “modification of biogeochemical flows” boundary represents and why disruption matters 🡪 two indicators: nitrogen and phosphorus flows.
Why the “increase in atmospheric aerosol loading” is a planetary boundary 🡪 energy imbalance due to aerosol pollution is shifting monsoon patterns.
Which processes cause a decline in yields 🡪 this card represents both agricultural and fisheries yields.

Facilitation notes:

Use aerosol loading as an example to discuss limitations of the framework 🡪 ecologically safe is not necessarily socially just.
TIP: Check the facilitation guide for more details, questions and common mistakes!

Set 5: The impacts on humanity due to planetary boundary transgression

See next slide for guiding questions and common mistakes

43 of 69

Set 5: The impacts on humanity due to planetary boundary transgression

Check if participants understand:

The two primary drivers of planetary pressure 🡪 (1) agriculture and (2) industry, transportation, and building usage.
The long-term impacts of planetary boundary transgression on societies 🡪 Explore sudden-impact vs slow-onset hazards.
The consequences for humanity 🡪 What drives population displacement / what food insecurity is a result of / how human health is impacted / what could lead to growing inequality / why planetary boundary transgression could lead to social tension and conflict.

Facilitation notes:

Let participants guess the remaining 5 different “human impact cards”
Make it a group discussion and ask participants to provide clear examples of each card.

TIP: Check the facilitation guide for more details, questions and common mistakes!

Overview

Participants draw the primary arrows described on the cards, but there are other links!
They don’t need to draw every arrow, but make sure they understand the key messages.
Their fresco will look messy, and that’s fine! It shows where change begins and what matters most.

45 of 69

Don’t worry!

We know it can feel like A LOT. All guiding questions with the answers per set can be found in the facilitation guide. The guide can be used for preparations and reflection.

Practice in the Memo-tool!

You can find the tool here or via the facilitator space.

Phase 3: �Creativity & reflection

48 of 69

Summary

Can participants find the two drivers of overshoot?
Discuss how to navigate the interconnected web: it may look overwhelming, but it’s a map of opportunity. Behind complexity lies clarity, and the root causes offer our strongest leverage points.
Ask participants to consider the broader consequences of overshoot through a justice lens
Finite resources: discuss the difference between a boundary and a limit

49 of 69

Creativity & Reflection

Your role as a facilitator is to ensure a safe space for sharing, especially as emotions emerge. To guide reflection, use the Beauty of the world (40) card.

Goals:

Anchoring what they have learned today
Highlighting arrows and cards that are important to them
Reflecting and connecting with their feelings

What represents the beauty of the world to them?
How does it make them feel seeing it being part of the interconnected web?

Connecting and sharing �perspectives with each �other

Phase 4:�Actions & accounting

53 of 69

Grounding the discussion with data and visuals

but not too many! Key messages:

The Planetary Boundaries Framework is constantly being further developed and updated by scientists.
Shortly introduce complementary frameworks that address limitations or improve applicability.
Two drivers leading to Planetary Boundaries transgression: agriculture and fossil use.

54 of 69

What do we want to achieve with the ‘Action�& Accounting’ exercise?�Think beyond simple, one-size-fits-all solutions and adopt a holistic, systemic approach to address the transgression of planetary boundaries!

Other Action & Accounting exercises are discussed in the Facilitation Guide!

55 of 69

Action & Accounting

The role of the facilitator: Facilitate the discussion between the participants, challenge assumptions, reveal trade-offs, introduce barriers, and identify opportunities together.

Goal: Move beyond siloed thinking, and work towards systemic solutions.��Task:

Discuss one solution with the group, for example, replacing all fossil-fuel-powered cars with electric vehicles.
Let participants work in pairs on a solution for one of the planetary boundaries. The pairs fill in the grid together.
Let the pairs present their solution & facilitate a discussion within the group.

“For example, replacing all fossil-fuel-powered cars with electric vehicles. At first glance, this seems like a major step forward for climate action, but as we examine its broader impact, new challenges emerge. What about the strain on mineral resources for battery production? The energy demand for charging? The land-use implications of mining? The social and economic inequalities in access to these new technologies?”

56 of 69

Form a group of 3 or 4 and pick one planetary boundary.
Brainstorm 2 to 4 concrete and practical actions (not system change, education or “fix everything” solutions).
Choose one action and map co-benefits and trade-offs across other planetary boundaries.
Discuss complementary actions, barriers and opportunities.
Present it to the group!

Rule of thumb: Narrow it down if it sounds like it could solve everything or is too big to implement locally.

Planetary Accounting

57 of 69

Ending the actions and accounting exercise

It’s a thought exercise – it was not meant to result in a checklist of actions. Instead, we aim to encourage a shift in mindset.
It is urgent, possible and desirable!
Meaningful change requires long-term commitment, collective action, and rethinking our relationship with nature.
Introduce key concepts: cathedral thinking, biosphere stewardship & more!
