Three ways humans are embedded in the biosphere
Humans are not separate from nature. We are part of it.
Our cultures, economies, and social structures are deeply embedded in the biosphere – the living fabric of Earth that makes human life possible.
A new paper in Cell Reports Sustainability argues that treating humans and nature as separate is a serious barrier to building sustainable futures. The authors introduce three ways to understand how humans are embedded in nature:
• Compositional – we are made up of and shaped by the living world around us
• Relational – our actions transform nature, which in turn transforms us - ‼️
• Evolutionary – human and ecological change unfold together over time
Recognising this embeddedness can help science and policy better address sustainability challenges and move beyond the old divide between humans and nature.
