Frontiers In Environmental Science

Journal Title：Frontiers In Environmental Science

Our natural world is experiencing a state of rapid change unprecedented in the presence of humans. The changes affect virtually all physical, chemical and biological systems on Earth. The interaction of these systems leads to tipping points, feedbacks and amplification of effects. In virtually all cases, the causes of environmental change can be traced to human activity through either direct interventions as a consequence of pollution, or through global warming from greenhouse case emissions. Well-formulated and internationally-relevant policies to mitigate the change, or adapt to the consequences, that will ensure our ability to thrive in the coming decades are badly needed. Without proper understanding of the processes involved, and deep understanding of the likely impacts of bad decisions or inaction, the security of food, water and energy is a risk. Left unchecked shortages of these basic commodities will lead to migration, global geopolitical tension and conflict. This represents the major challenge of our time. We are the first generation to appreciate the problem and we will be judged in future by our ability to determine and take the action necessary. Appropriate knowledge of the condition of our natural world, appreciation of the changes occurring, and predictions of how the future will develop are requisite to the definition and implementation of solutions.

Frontiers in Environmental Science publishes research at the cutting edge of knowledge of our natural world and its various intersections with society. It bridges between the identification and measurement of change, comprehension of the processes responsible, and the measures needed to reduce their impact. Its aim is to assist the formulation of policies, by offering sound scientific evidence on environmental science, that will lead to a more inhabitable and sustainable world for the generations to come.

我们的自然世界正在经历人类存在的前所未有的快速变化状态。这些变化几乎影响了地球上所有的物理、化学和生物系统。这些系统的相互作用导致了临界点、反馈和效应的放大。在几乎所有情况下，环境变化的原因都可以通过污染导致的直接干预或温室气体排放导致的全球变暖来追溯到人类活动。制定完善且与国际相关的政策来缓解变化或适应后果，这将确保我们在未来几十年蓬勃发展的能力是非常需要的。如果不正确理解所涉及的过程，以及对错误决策或不作为可能产生的影响的深刻理解，食品、水和能源的安全就是一种风险。这些基本商品的无节制短缺将导致移民、全球地缘政治紧张和冲突。这代表了我们这个时代的主要挑战。我们是第一代意识到这个问题的人，未来我们将根据我们确定和采取必要行动的能力来评判我们。对我们自然世界状况的适当了解、对正在发生的变化的认识以及对未来发展方式的预测对于解决方案的定义和实施是必不可少的。

Frontiers in Environmental Science 发表关于我们自然世界及其与社会的各种交叉点的前沿知识研究。它在变革的识别和衡量、对负责的流程的理解以及减少其影响所需的措施之间架起了一座桥梁。其目的是通过提供有关环境科学的可靠科学证据来协助制定政策，从而为子孙后代创造一个更适合居住和可持续发展的世界。
