Abstract
The Safe Operating Space for Humanity is not fully characterized by the state values of Planetary Boundaries because not only does interaction among them matter, but more importantly the perturbation response capacity dimension is missing. We present a systems dynamics measure of this perturbation response capacity under the Antifragility framework. Here we define, for the first time, Planetary Antifragility as the changes of shortwave global albedo anomalies for the July months in the northern hemisphere from 1982 to 2010, which shows a net reduction of 47.63 %. This loss in Antifragility implies a compounding problem because human perturbations such as climate or land-use changes are increasing but at the same time, the planet is losing its capacity to respond to them.
