Routledge Environmental Constitutionalism in the Anthropocene - Routledge

This book examines the relationship between humanity and nature through diverse cultural approaches to environmental law and policy. Recognising that the International Union of Geological Sciences officially designated the Anthropocene as our current era in 2019, characterised by mankind's profound impact on environmental change, the work addresses the epistemological and practical challenges this new epoch presents across hard sciences, humanities and social sciences. Environmental Constitutionalism in the Anthropocene explores how legal frameworks rooted in different cultural traditions can foster acceptance of new environmental legislation at local and global levels, bridging the gap between scientific understanding and actionable governance. By examining environmental constitutionalism as a response to anthropogenic change, this Routledge volume contributes to ongoing discourse about humanity's responsibility to nature and offers insights into building more sustainable legal systems.
