Johan Rockström is the leading scientist behind the Planetary Boundaries framework, which has had an extraordinary impact on policies and international debates, and which forms an integral part of curriculums for professional climate- and environmental courses in schools and universities around the world. He is Professor in Earth System science at the University of Potsdam, director of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, co-founder of the Stockholm Resilience Center and chief scientist at Conservation International.
