Abstract:<\/strong> Today, more than ever, \u2018Spaceship Earth\u2019 is an apt metaphor as we chart the boundaries for a safe planet1. Social scientists both analyse why society courts disaster by approaching or even overstepping these boundaries and try to design suitable policies to avoid these perils. Because the threats of transgressing planetary boundaries are global, long-run, uncertain and interconnected, they must be analysed together to avoid conflicts and take advantage of synergies. To obtain policies that are effective at both international and local levels requires careful analysis of the underlying mechanisms across scientific disciplines and approaches, and must take politics into account. In this perspective, we examine the complexities of designing policies that can keep Earth within the biophysical limits favourable to human life.<\/p>\n Thomas Sterner, Edward Barbier, Ian Bateman, Ottmar Edenhofer, Inge van den Bijgaart, Anne-Sophie Cr\u00e9pin, Ottmar Edenhofer, Carolyn Fischer, Wolfgang Habla, John Hassler, Olof Johansson-Stenman, Andreas Lange, Stephen Polasky, Johan Rockstr\u00f6m, Henrik G.
