Johan Rockström is one of the world’s leading climate and sustainability experts. A fierce advocate for deep and rapid cuts in carbon emissions, he points to the need for an ‘exponential carbon roadmap.’ He is best known for his groundbreaking 2009 work on Planetary Boundaries, nine processes that regulate the stability and resilience of the Earth system.
