行星边界及其相互作用由于其固有的不确定性和复杂的多尺度动态性，给全球环境治理带来了严峻的挑战。在这里，我们通过关注多中心系统和秩序的作用来探讨地球边界相互作用所带来的全球治理挑战，这是一个理论领域，在联合国进程停滞不前的索赔之后获得了很大的兴趣。在第一部分中，我们致力于澄清国际背景下的多中心秩序，并提出三个命题。然后，我们提出了一个案例研究的国际多中心的出现，以解决相互作用的地球边界，即气候变化，海洋酸化和海洋生物多样性综合体的损失。这是通过对气候、渔业和水产养殖全球伙伴关系倡议的研究来完成的。如案例研究所示，通过个人、国际组织及其合作模式之间的相互作用，在国际一级运作着一系列多中心秩序机制（从信息共享到协调行动和解决冲突）。虽然这种多中心协调当然具有潜力，但它也容易受到内部紧张局势、不可靠的外部资金流动和负面机构互动的影响。
Planetary boundaries and their interactions pose severe challenges for global environmental governance due to their inherent uncertainties and complex multi-scale dynamics. Here we explore the global governance challenge posed by planetary boundaries interactions by focusing on the role of polycentric systems and order, a theoretical field that has gained much interest in the aftermath of claims of a stagnant UN-process. In the first part we work toward a clarification of polycentric order in an international context, and develop three propositions. We then present a case study of the emergence of international polycentricity to address interacting planetary boundaries, namely the climate change, ocean acidification and loss of marine biodiversity complex. This is done through a study of the Global Partnership on Climate, Fisheries and Aquaculture (PaCFA) initiative. As the case study indicates, a range of mechanisms of polycentric order (ranging from information sharing to coordinated action and conflict resolution) operates at the international level through the interplay between individuals, international organizations and their collaboration patterns. While polycentric coordination of this type certainly holds potential, it is also vulnerable to internal tensions, unreliable external flows of funding, and negative institutional interactions.
