Abstract

The focus in this chapter is the human forcings in the Earth System at large, and their origin in multiple drivers of change: demographic, economic development, urbanisation, technological development, international trade and foreign direct investment, climate change, and national and international policies. The chapter shows in what ways the Earth System has responded by different kind of impacts and feedbacks, and discusses the risk of approaching crucial thresholds and tipping points in the Earth System. Special attention is paid to the world’s most water-dependent system: agricultural production and human food security.
