Sustainable Development

13.9K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Threats to Biodiversity

23.3K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Sample Proportion and Population Proportion01:20

Sample Proportion and Population Proportion

5.7K
Collecting samples or responses from an entire population takes significant time and effort, so a researcher collects responses from only a sample of that population. Suppose a study needs to collect information about a specific mobile application. After sample collection, the researcher analyzes the data and discovers that most individuals in the sample use that specific mobile application. The sample proportion measures the number of individuals in a sample who either use or don't use the...

Area of Science:

  • Ecological economics
  • Environmental sustainability science
  • Global change studies

Background:

  • Humanity's ecological footprint currently exceeds the biosphere's regenerative capacity.
  • This imbalance is widening due to the biosphere's diminishing ability to meet demand.
  • The Anthropocene signifies an era of unsustainable resource consumption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the required increase in efficiency for achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
  • To determine a sustainable global population size for maintaining high living standards.
  • To project potential living standards under UN population projections for 2100.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing estimates of the ecological gap, global GDP, and growth rates.
  • Analyzing the rate of natural capital decline.
  • Applying calculations based on 2019 pre-pandemic data.

Main Results:

  • Quantifying the efficiency gains needed for sustainable development by 2030.
  • Estimating a sustainable world population for current living standards.
  • Modeling future living standards based on projected population scenarios.

Conclusions:

  • The study provides critical data for aligning economic activity with planetary boundaries.
  • Findings inform policy decisions for achieving sustainable development goals and population management.
  • The methodology offers a framework for assessing sustainability at global and regional scales.
