Short summary
Part of sustainability is the debate about ecological carrying capacity, which was initiated by a group of scientists led by Johan Rockström, who proposed the concept of planetary boundaries. The challenge of climate change requires strong decarbonization and has led to increased investments in low-carbon technologies such as nuclear power. Although no greenhouse gas emissions are produced during fission, hazardous radioactive waste is generated. This burden for our society is underrepresented.
