The international science on global environmental change, which has provided the insights we have today on the functioning of the Earth system and impacts on human societies of anthropogenic change, has triggered a concerted global effort, integrating the ICSU / ISSC Visioning process on the Grand Challenges for Earth system research for global sustainability with the Belmont Forum challenge (a coalition of major donors of global environmental change research), to define the future integrated science agenda on Earth system research for global sustainability.

These findings highlight the potential long - term negative consequences of acute social disruption in cognitively advanced species that live in close - knit kin - based societies, and alter our perspective on the health and functioning of populations that have been subjected to anthropogenic disturbance.
