It raises significant conceptual or theoretical issues, as well as significant needs for empirical research at global and regional scales. The question quickly gives rise to a host of important more specialized questions. Answers to this family of questions are relevant for applied questions [...]]]></description>

This would indicate levels of sustainability within countries, taking population growth/age, natural resources, pollution levels, etc. into account. Based on this, areas for education/action can be identified. This is both a earth system &#038; social science topic combined, [...]]]></description>

Our present use of the planet is not sustainable.  Achieving &#8220;a sustainable relationship between humans and the living world&#8221; will require a huge intellectual, scientific, technological and social effort.
