Abstract: Abstract In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly set out a total of seventeen sustainable development goals. These challenges include items such as no poverty, zero hunger, gender equality, climate action, and peace, justice and strong institutions and are to be achieved by 2030. With nearly eight billion people living on our planet, there is a sense that despite the progress the human race has made, the problems that future generations face are significant and mounting. Scientists are declaring that the current epoch, the Holocene, which is characterised by 12,000 years of stable climate since the last Ice Age, is being superseded by a new epoch—the Anthropocene. What defines this new epoch of geological change is that its primary cause is human activity.
