Abstract
The stable functioning of Earth’s life support systems is a prerequisite for a thriving global society.1 There is however growing evidence that human impact is putting such functioning at risk. The likely impacts of global environmental change include diminishing food production, water scarcity, extreme weather, ocean acidification, deteriorating ecosystems and sea-level rise. These impacts will further undermine human well-being and long-term prosperity. 2 Present and future generations are therefore faced with unprecedented challenges and the quest to achieve sustainable futures is fraught with uncertainty
