La humanidad siempre se ha preguntado acerca del origen de nuestro planeta azul; sin embargo, esto es bastante irrelevante para la vida cotidiana. Lo que realmente importa es que todos podamos vivir en armonía y diversidad en la &#8220;madre Tierra&#8221; y preservar el medio ambiente para las generaciones futuras. Nuestro planeta está habitado por una increíble variedad de criaturas vivientes, entre las cuales se cuentan 7 mil millones de seres humanos en la actualidad. Este número ha aumentado a un ritmo alarmante durante más de un siglo y llegará a los 10 000 millones en 2100. Pero no existe la certeza de que los recursos de la Tierra puedan hacer frente a las crecientes demandas. ¿Cuál será nuestro futuro común? Este problema global ha sido el foco de los reportes del llamado Club de Roma (Meadows, Randers y Behrens, 1972), el Informe Brundtland (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987), entre otros, pero las respuestas de la sociedad son todavía insuficientes. Actualmente, la ciencia y la tecnología pueden desentrañar las múltiples y sutiles interrelaciones entre geosfera, atmósfera y biosfera, y supervisar el creciente impacto global de las actividades humanas en el medio ambiente (Stel, 2013). La observación de la Tierra desde el aire y el espacio y los sistemas de información geográfica han abierto nuevas perspectivas en este campo. Es evidente que existen límites al crecimiento y que la actual &#8220;violación de la Tierra&#8221; debe detenerse y desarrollar un plan maestro para la sostenibilidad global. Este plan no debe ser impuesto de arriba abajo, sino estar enraizado en nuestra libre voluntad y, por consiguiente, tener una estructura policéntrica. La agenda política para la globalización no debe sustentarse exclusivamente en el crecimiento económico, sino orientarse en tres ejes: sustentabilidad-balance social-requisitos económicos. ¿Podemos hacer que esto suceda?]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract The earth, a futility in space, is the only home for all humans and, at present, the theatre of the globalization of our society. Humanity has always been wondering about the origin of our blue planet. This is rather irrelevant for everyday life however. What really matters is that all of us can live in harmony and diversity on &#8216;Mother Earth&#8217; and preserve our environment for future generations. Our planet is inhabited by an amazing variety of living creatures, among which at present are 7 billion humans. This number has risen at an alarming rate for more than a century and will reach the 10 billion mark around the year 2100. But whether the earth resources can cope with the growing demands is most uncertain. What will be our common future? This global issue has been the focus of the Reports of the so-called Club of Rome, the Brundtland Report, etc, but the responses of society are as yet inadequate. Science and technology can now unravel the many subtle interrelations between geosphere, atmosphere and biosphere and monitor the worldwide growing impact of human activities on the environment. Earth observation from aerospace and geoinformation systems have opened new vistas in this field. It is evident that there are limits to growth and that the present &#8216;rape of the earth&#8217; should be stopped and a master plan for global sustainability be made. This plan should not be imposed topdown but be rooted in our free will and thus have a polycentric structure. The political agenda for globalization should not be a flywheel for economic growth but be oriented to the tripartite: sustainability-social balance-economic requirements. Can we make this happen?]]></p></abstract>
