Payments for Environmental Services: Evolution Toward Efficient and Fair Incentives for Multifunctional Landscapes (2012, background): “The optimist will note how far we have progressed from the Stone Age economics (181) at the start of the Anthropocene (182) and be less concerned that we still have a way to go.”

Arctic biodiversity assessment : status and trends in arctic biodiversity (2013, background): “It has been argued that changes in climate, biodiversity, infectious diseases, energy supplies, food, freshwater, human population and the global financial system are part of one contemporary global challenge, and that they need to be addressed as such (Steffen et al. 2011).”
Interactions among ecosystem stressors and their importance in conservation (2016, background): “Their cumulative effects are eroding biodiversity [4], triggering concerns that we are in the midst of a sixth mass extinction [5] and approaching a planetary-scale tipping point [6,7].”
Research, part of a Special Feature on Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Environmental Change Biocultural Refugia: Combating the Erosion of Diversity in Landscapes of Food Production (2013, background): “Indeed, the environmental challenges of the near future will require every resource at our disposal (Steffen et al. 2011).”
Rewiring food systems to enhance human health and biosphere stewardship (2017, background): “…the total material wealth, food availability, and wellbeing of humanity has improved, there is increasing scarcity of critical resources such as water, soil and energy, and ecosystem services have been degraded to such an extent that it threatens to undermine long-term societal development [3–5].”
Sustainability transformations: a resilience perspective (2014, background): “However, in light of the recent work in Earth system science and on planetary boundaries (Rockström et al. 2009, Walker et al. 2009, Steffen et al. 2011), Westley et al. (2011) also discuss the need for radical transformations in humanenvironmental interactions and feedbacks to reverse current…”

Reconnecting to the Biosphere (2011, background): “As part of Earth System Governance, we suggest that the Millennium Development Goals should be reframed in a planetary stewardship context combined with calls for a new social contract for global sustainability.”
