MaintainingHumanitysLifeSupportSystemsinthe21stCentury

Earth is rapidly approaching a tipping point. Human impacts are causing alarming levels of harmto our planet. As scientists who study the interaction of people with the rest of the biosphere

using a wide range of approaches, we agree that the evidence that humans are damaging theirecological life-support systems is overwhelming.

Wefurtheragreethat,basedonthebestscientificinformationavailable,humanqualityoflife

willsuffersubstantialdegradationbytheyear2050ifwecontinueonourcurrentpath.

Science unequivocally demonstrates the human impacts of key concern:

Climate disruptionmore, faster climate change than since humans first became a species. Extinctionsnot since the dinosaurs went extinct have

so many species and populations died out so fast, bothon land and in the oceans.

Wholesale loss of diverse ecosystemswe haveplowed, paved, or otherwise transformed more than40% of Earths ice-free land, and no place on land or in

the sea is free of our direct or indirect influences.

Pollutionenvironmental contaminants in the air, waterand land are at record levels and increasing, seriously

harming people and wildlife in unforeseen ways.

Human population growth and consumptionpatternsseven billion people alive today will likelygrow to 9.5 billion by 2050, and the pressures of heavy

material consumption among the middle class andwealthy may well intensify.

By the time todays children reach middle age, it is extremely likely that Earths life-supportsystems, critical for human prosperity and existence, will be irretrievably damaged by the

magnitude, global extent, and combination of these human-caused environmental stressors,unless we take concrete, immediate actions to ensure a sustainable, high-quality future.
