          Abstract

          Resumo Dada a importância de manter os níveis de consumo dentro da capacidade de carga do meio ambiente e dos limites naturais para o crescimento, este artigo examina as interconexões entre a sociedade pós-moderna, a Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) e o consumo sustentável. Ao longo do texto são analisadas as principais características da sociedade pós-moderna e sua relação com o problema da insustentabilidade. Admite-se como fundo o processo histórico de luta da ONU por uma comunidade global sustentável, baseado em dados de desigualdades sociais e sobre o impacto humano nos ecossistemas. O artigo destaca a necessidade de uma governança global forte, aliada à mudança de hábitos da sociedade e ao uso de práticas de economia solidária para auxiliar na efetivação do direito-dever ao consumo sustentável. A pesquisa é qualitativa, exploratória, descritiva e dedutiva O procedimento metodológico é bibliográfico e documental.

          Abstract Given the importance of keeping consumption levels within the environment’s carrying capacity and natural limits to growth, this article examines the interconnections between postmodern society, the United Nations (UN) and sustainable consumption. Throughout the article, the main characteristics of postmodern society and their relationship with the problem of unsustainability are analyzed. The historical process of the UN’s struggle for a sustainable global community, based on data on social inequalities and the human impact on ecosystems, is taken as a background. The article highlights the need for strong global governance, combined with changing society’s habits and the use of solidary economy practices to support the realization of the right and duty to sustainable consumption. The research is qualitative, exploratory, descriptive and deductive. The methodological procedure is bibliographical and documentary.

          Planetary boundaries: Guiding human development on a changing planet

          The planetary boundaries framework defines a safe operating space for humanity based on the intrinsic biophysical processes that regulate the stability of the Earth system. Here, we revise and update the planetary boundary framework, with a focus on the underpinning biophysical science, based on targeted input from expert research communities and on more general scientific advances over the past 5 years. Several of the boundaries now have a two-tier approach, reflecting the importance of cross-scale interactions and the regional-level heterogeneity of the processes that underpin the boundaries. Two core boundaries—climate change and biosphere integrity—have been identified, each of which has the potential on its own to drive the Earth system into a new state should they be substantially and persistently transgressed.

              Outside the Safe Operating Space of the Planetary Boundary for Novel Entities

              We submit that the safe operating space of the planetary boundary of novel entities is exceeded since annual production and releases are increasing at a pace that outstrips the global capacity for assessment and monitoring. The novel entities boundary in the planetary boundaries framework refers to entities that are novel in a geological sense and that could have large-scale impacts that threaten the integrity of Earth system processes. We review the scientific literature relevant to quantifying the boundary for novel entities and highlight plastic pollution as a particular aspect of high concern. An impact pathway from production of novel entities to impacts on Earth system processes is presented. We define and apply three criteria for assessment of the suitability of control variables for the boundary: feasibility, relevance, and comprehensiveness. We propose several complementary control variables to capture the complexity of this boundary, while acknowledging major data limitations. We conclude that humanity is currently operating outside the planetary boundary based on the weight-of-evidence for several of these control variables. The increasing rate of production and releases of larger volumes and higher numbers of novel entities with diverse risk potentials exceed societies’ ability to conduct safety related assessments and monitoring. We recommend taking urgent action to reduce the harm associated with exceeding the boundary by reducing the production and releases of novel entities, noting that even so, the persistence of many novel entities and/or their associated effects will continue to pose a threat.
