  • Summary

    Chapter 5 delves into the relationship between humans and the natural environment. It focuses on three key aspects: (1) the context, which provides an idea of the importance of humans in relation to the natural environment on which they depend; (2) the reasons why human intervention in the natural environment is considered to have led to the so-called Anthropocene era; and (3) the ways in which intensive human intervention has fundamentally altered the balances in the biosphere and the effects of that. Scientific evidence of several possible planetary emergency scenarios is shown to inform managers, entrepreneurs, investors, consumers and public policy decision-making.
