It is an essay assignment, with reference to relevant scientific journal articles and texts, informed by knowledge gained from the lecture. I will upload the lecture slides but it is usually asked not to copy from lecture, it is more for getting the idea about the topic. If the use of the graphs is appropriate, it might be good. Also, there are some relevant articles, which can be helpful:Rockström, J; Steffen, WL; Noone, K; Persson, Å; Chapin III, FS; Lambin, EF; Lenton, TM; Scheffer, M; et al. (2009),”Planetary Boundaries: Exploring the Safe Operating Space for Humanity” (PDF), Ecology and Society 14 (2): 32
