More than 10,000 years ago, humans began an experiment on the environmental
consequences of resource use. The environmental changes
were at first local. By 6000 years ago, the consequences had begun to be
manifested at the regional and global scales. At the beginning of the experiment,
Asia played a founding role. Populations were centered there,
and agriculture and associated land-use change began there. Now Asia,
with 60% of the world’s population, is rapidly growing in terms of both
population and economic development. Over the next few decades, population
growth will slow, but economic growth will continue, resulting
in large-scale losses of S, C, and N compounds to the atmosphere. A
global challenge is to implement growth scenarios that, on one hand,
will not limit the ability of the Asian population to attain a higher standard
of living, but, on the other hand, will not result in a continued
degradation of the environments within Asia as well as downwind and
downstream of Asia.
