"Pervasive human-driven decline of life on Earth points to the need for transformative change" explores how human impacts on life on Earth are unprecedented, requiring transformative action to address root economic, social and technological causes.

It's a notable assessment not just for its unflinching examination of "living nature" -- Earth's fabric of life which provides food, water, energy and healthy security. The Science article "Pervasive human-driven decline of life on Earth points to the need for transformative change" takes up where the recent Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Global Assessment (IPBES) leaves off by following an intergovernmental process from start to end. The report covers not only the history of humanity's interactions with nature -- with particular focus on the last 50 years -- but also how these might change in the future.
