Figure 1.
A diagram illustrating planetary boundaries with categories like Carbon Footprint and Water Scarcity surrounding a central map, indicating safe operating space with a red outline.The image is a diagram titled Methodology Planetary Boundaries featuring a central globe with geographical elements. Surrounding the globe are circular segments representing various environmental categories including carbon footprint, water scarcity, water quality, ozone, air quality, resource depletion, acidification, and biodiversity. Each segment has descriptive text detailing further subcategories, such as water ecotoxicity under water quality. The diagram includes a red outline indicating the concept of planetary boundaries as a safe operating space. Visual icons accompany each category, enhancing understanding of the themes discussed.
