Biodiversity and Human Values01:24

Biodiversity and Human Values

13.2K
Human civilization relies on biodiversity in many ways. Sudden changes in species biodiversity result in environmental changes that can modify weather patterns and therefore human civilizations.

Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

24.5K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Threats to Biodiversity

22.4K
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...

The Carbon Cycle01:14

The Carbon Cycle

38.5K
Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.

Sustainable Development01:43

Sustainable Development

13.4K
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.

The Fossil Record02:56

The Fossil Record

25.3K
The fossil record documents only a small fraction of all organisms that have ever inhabited Earth. Fossilization is a rare process, and most organisms never become fossils. Moreover, the fossil record only exhibits fossils that have been discovered. Nevertheless, sedimentary rock fossils of long-lived, abundant, hard-bodied organisms dominate the fossil record. These fossils offer valuable information, such as an organism's physical form, behavior, and age. Studying the fossil record helps...

Area of Science:

  • Earth Systems Science
  • Sustainability Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • The Anthropocene is characterized by unprecedented human-induced global changes.
  • Multiple interconnected health crises, including inequity, climate change, and biodiversity loss, demand large-scale collective action.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical role of social solidarity in addressing Anthropocene challenges.
  • To explore the concept of solidarity from inter-species, intra-generational, and inter-generational perspectives.
  • To propose strategies for enhancing solidarity in the Anthropocene.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual exploration of social solidarity.
  • Analysis of solidarity through inter-species, intra-generational, and inter-generational lenses.
  • Proposal of strategies for fostering solidarity.

Main Results:

  • Social solidarity is identified as a fundamental requirement for effective collective action in the face of global crises.
  • Current scholarly attention to solidarity within Earth Systems, sustainability, and public health contexts is insufficient.
  • The study examines solidarity across diverse perspectives, including inter-species and inter-generational relationships.

Conclusions:

  • Recognizing and actively nurturing social solidarity is essential for navigating the complexities of the Anthropocene.
  • Strategies to enhance solidarity are proposed to facilitate collective action on planetary health challenges.
  • Interdisciplinary approaches are needed to understand and promote solidarity for a sustainable future.
