Earth Safety Indicators
The research report mentioned that human activity has pushed the world to the brink of extinction and extreme danger. The international scientist group Earth Commission which has 40 international scientists focused on the 8 already established safety indicators including the availability of water and its contamination, nutrient loading, ecosystem, climate change and air pollution.
