Sustainability: The ability to meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, balancing environmental, social, and economic factors.
Planetary Boundaries: Thresholds in Earth system processes that, if crossed, could lead to irreversible environmental changes, threatening global stability and sustainability.
Systemic Interdependence: The interconnectedness of Earth's subsystems (biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, geosphere) where changes in one affect others, requiring holistic management for sustainability.
Anthropocene: The current geological epoch characterized by significant human impact on Earth's geology and ecosystems, often linked to unsustainable practices.
Tipping Points: Critical thresholds in Earth systems where small changes can lead to drastic and potentially irreversible shifts, such as glacier melting or species extinction.
Resource Depletion: The exhaustion of natural resources (fossil fuels, minerals, biological resources) due to overuse, threatening long-term sustainability.
