Drawing connections between scientific research, technological development, and societies' efforts to achieve environmentally sustainable improvements in human well-being, contributors to this report document large-scale historical currents of social and environmental change; review methods for analysis of possible development in the future; identify threats to sustainability in the areas of human settlement, agriculture, industry, and energy; and explore opportunities for circumventing or mitigating these threats.
