ABSTRACT: Recent scientific findings suggest that the entire earth system operates outside the state that was common over the last 500,000 years. The central political challenge of our time thus is to bring human development in line with the exigencies of the earth system, and to create and strengthen stable social institutions that guarantee a long-term coevolution of natural and social systems. This is the challenge of what is described here as earth-system governance. This essay explores the notion of earth system governance and sketches the outline of the Earth System Governance Project. | ||
