The United States Department of Defense has classified climate change as a threat multiplier (U.S. Department of Defense, 2014). Furthermore, the cost and death toll from natural disasters and pandemics are very high and can impact the global economy and increase socioeconomic divides. The problem is not only that anthropogenic climate change will induce dramatic changes in the Earth’s biogeochemical cycles, but also that humans’ ability to adapt to the rapid changes that they have imposed will be incredibly costly.
