Achieving sustainable development has been hampered by trade-offs in favour of economic growth over social well-being and ecological viability, which may also affect the goals (SDGs) adopted member states United Nations. In contrast, concept inclusive emphasizes social, political dimensions development. this context, paper addresses question: What does mean to what extent is it taken into account framing SDGs? It presents as having three key (social, ecological, relational inclusiveness)...
Abstract The stability and resilience of the Earth system human well-being are inseparably linked 1–3 , yet their interdependencies generally under-recognized; consequently, they often treated independently 4,5 . Here, we use modelling literature assessment to quantify safe just boundaries (ESBs) for climate, biosphere, water nutrient cycles, aerosols at global subglobal scales. We propose ESBs maintaining (safe ESBs) minimizing exposure significant harm humans from change (a necessary but...
The United Nations conference in Rio de Janeiro June is an important opportunity to improve the institutional framework for sustainable development.
The Earth System Science Partnership, which unites all major global change research programmes, declared in 2001 an urgent need to develop "strategies for management". Yet what such strategies might be, how they could be developed, and effective, efficient equitable would remains unspecified. It is apparent that the institutions, organizations mechanisms by humans currently govern their relationship with natural environment biochemical systems are not only insufficient—they also poorly...

The Paris Agreement's 2 °C objective requires that more than 80% of all proven fossil fuel reserves become stranded resources, and investments in such resources may assets for industrialized developing countries. literature scarcely covers the implications 'latecomers' to development. Hence, we address question: What does a review diversity fields imply latecomers development climate change global sustainable development? We find seven dimensions literature: (i) Spatial: where first comers...
Abstract Keeping the Earth system in a stable and resilient state, to safeguard Earth's life support systems while ensuring that benefits, risks, related responsibilities are equitably shared, constitutes grand challenge for human development Anthropocene. Here, we describe framework recently formed Commission will use define quantify target ranges “safe just corridor” meets these goals. Although “safe” “just” targets interrelated, see safe as primarily referring being associated with...
Abstract Green water, or plant‐available soil moisture, is a substantial subset of terrestrial fresh water. Land‐use change (LUC) alters green water dynamics through interactions on the micro‐level (i.e., between and vegetation) macro‐level land surface atmosphere). Ongoing global deforestation, growing interest in reforestation projects, begs question whether such large‐scale LUCs have major eco‐hydrological impacts via process moisture recycling. This requires systematic, mechanistic...
Despite decades of increasing investment in conservation, we have not succeeded "bending the curve" biodiversity decline. Efforts to meet new targets and goals for next three risk repeating this outcome due factors: neglect drivers decline; unrealistic expectations time frames recovery; insufficient attention justice within between generations across countries. Our Earth system approach identifies six sets actions that when tackled simultaneously address these failings: (1) reduce reverse...
The Anthropocene signifies the start of a no-analogue trajectory Earth system that is fundamentally different from Holocene. This new characterized by rising risks triggering irreversible and unmanageable shifts in functioning. We urgently need global approach to safeguard critical regulating functions more effectively comprehensively. commons framework closest example an existing with aim governing biophysical systems on upon which world collectively depends. Derived during stable Holocene...
Abstract This article presents an overview of the history international climate change policy over last 30 years, divided into five periods. It examines pre‐1990 period, period leading up to adoption Climate Change Convention, Kyoto Protocol until US withdrawal, thereafter focusing on entry force Protocol, and post‐2008 that coincides with financial crisis. For each it discusses relevant science, actors, coalitions, agreements emerging in key issues major trends. In doing so, evolving...
