N2 - This article discusses sustainable entrepreneurship in light ofplanetary boundaries and related aims to contribute to managing for and in asafe operating space for humanity. The rapidly developing research area ofenvironmental, social and sustainable entrepreneurship has flourished for thelast two decades and improved our understanding of the phenomenon.However, while a contribution to sustainable development is often stated ingeneral terms or implied, most of the sustainable entrepreneurship literaturefocuses on classifications, motivations, processes and specific outcomeswithout explicit links to how planetary boundaries are addressed. This paperdiscusses links between sustainable entrepreneurship and the planetaryboundaries concept by addressing both perspectives: how can the conceptof planetary boundaries provide perspectives for designing and assessingsustainable entrepreneurship? And how can sustainable entrepreneurshipcontribute effectively to an economy and society operating in a safe operatingspace for humanity?
