Resumen
Scientists have known for more than a century aboutpotential human impacts on climate (1). In the last 30 y,estimates of these impacts have been confirmed andrefined through increasingly precise climate assess-ments (2). Other global-scale human impacts, includingland use change, overharvesting, air and water pollu-tion, and increased disease risk from antibiotic resis-tance, have risen to critical levels, seriously jeopardizingthe prospects that future generations can thrive (3–5).Earth has entered a stage characterized by humandomination of critical Earth system processes (6–8).Although the basic trajectories of these changes arewell known, many of the likely consequences areshrouded in uncertainty because of poorly understoodinteractions among these drivers of change and there-fore their effects on ecosystems and societies.
