Technological Requirements for Sustaining Socio-ecosystems with Hyper-dense Humans

Explore a seminar that delves into the ecological challenges and technological requirements for sustaining hyper-dense human populations. Examine how societal complexity relates to energy consumption and population density, comparing human societies to other land mammals. Investigate how modern cities exceed ecological limits, becoming energy sinks that surpass local net primary productivity. Learn about a mathematical model of socio-ecosystems that couples human population growth, technological development, and ecosystem services. Discover the potential role of green technologies in providing sustainable solutions for hyper-dense societies, and understand the various outcomes ranging from basic living conditions to unlimited material well-being. Analyze the critical importance of transitioning to green technology to avoid potential catastrophes and achieve desirable outcomes for human populations in a finite environment.
