Overview

A consideration of the Anthropocene as the new context for sustainability policy in the latest phase of globalisation, detailing how both academic analysis and practical initiatives will have to incorporate its insights if they are to be effective. With the new geological age known as the Anthropocene heralding dramatic disruptions in the earth system, geopolitics needs to be fundamentally reconsidered to deal with these new circumstances. Planetary boundaries and ecological change are now the key contextualisation for considering future global political arrangements. Humanity has been scaling up its niche, changing the climate and the species mix around the world since the end of the last ice age and in the process generating a new geological epoch known as the Anthropocene.
