“The future’s not determined, the future is in our hands; what happens over the next centuries will be determined by how we play our cards this decade.”
Professor Johan Rockström
Featuring Sir David Attenborough and Professor Johan Rockström – explores the science behind the devastating impact humanity has had on Earth since the dawn of civilization, revealing an urgent truth about the health of our planet. The film details just how far we’ve pushed Earth beyond the boundaries that have kept our planet stable for millennia, and what steps need to be taken to turn things around.
At the core of Breaking Boundaries lies a key message of action: stay innovative, cooperate, and make the next decade one that safeguards the future of our planet. The science is clear on what humanity needs to do. Only when we listen to these facts – and pay attention to the undeniable urgency – can we create a future where nature and people thrive.
