Telling Stories of Change

History is the stories of who ‘we’ are … and where we have come from

Responsibility and history- making UNESCO and the social responsibility of science 1940s

The Global Change Community World Meteorological Organization (WMO) United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) INTERGOVERNMENTAL PANEL ON CLIMATE CHANGE (IPCC)

The Anthropocene The Anthropocene defines the momentous and historical change in circumstances whereby the biophysical systems of the world are now no longer independent of the actions of people. It is the Geological Epoch dominated by humans.

IHOPE Science Plan v (August 2006), p. 4 What will IHOPE do? An integrated history from IHOPE will provide a rich picture of how (and why) the planet and human societies have changed in historical times. [It will] unravel Earth system changes through analysis of the coupled human-environmental system to understand…the importance of environmental dynamics on the evolution of society, and …how ….human activities contribute to the observed changes in Earth system dynamics.

History for sustainability Sustainability does not aim for a singular ‘steady state’, but rather the best possible dynamic for dwelling in the world, taking into account the needs of economy, society and environment.
