Current projections state that the Earth will need to support 9.6 billion people by the year 2050, a figure that climbs to nearly 11 billion by the year 2100. At the same time, most people envision a future Earth with a greater average standard of living than we currently have - and, as a result, greater consumption of our planetary resources. How do we prepare our planet for a future population of 10 billion? How can this population growth be achieved in a manner that is sustainable from an economic, social, and environmental perspective? Can Earth's and Society's Systems Meet the Needs of 10 Billion People? is the summary of a multi-disciplinary workshop convened by the National Academies in October 2013 to explore how to increase the world's population to 10 billion in a sustainable way while simultaneously increasing the well-being and standard of living for that population. This report examines key issues in the science of sustainability that are related to overall human population size, population growth, aging populations, migration toward cities, differential consumption, and land use change, by different subpopulations, as viewed through the lenses of both social and natural science."--Publisher's description. 606 $aClimatic changes$xHealth aspects 606 $aSustainable development$xHealth aspects 615 0$aClimatic changes$xHealth aspects. 615 0$aSustainable development$xHealth aspects. 676 $a613.11 702 $aMellody$b Maureen 712 02$aBoard On Environmental Change And Society, 712 12$aSteering Committee on Preparing for 10 Billion on the Planet: Workshop on Sustainability Science 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809132303321 996 $aCan earth's and society's systems meet the needs of 10 billion people$93915502 997 $aUNINA
