This article is about planetary-level changes in general. For global climate change throughout Earth's history, see Climate change (general concept). For recent ongoing changes in Earth's climate, see Global warming.
Global change in broad sense refers to planetary-scale changes in the Earth system. It is most commonly used to encompass the variety of changes connected to the rapid increase in human activities which started around mid-20th century, i.e., the Great Acceleration. While the concept stems from research on the climate change, it is used to adopt a more holistic view of the observed changes. Global change refers to the changes of the Earth system, treated in its entirety with interacting physicochemical and biological components as well as the impact human societies have on the components and vice versa.[1] Therefore, the changes are studied through means of Earth system science.
