Routledge Environmental Constitutionalism in the Anthropocene

Explore the complex relationship between humanity and the natural world in Environmental Constitutionalism in the Anthropocene: Values, Principles and Actions. Part of the Juris Diversitas series, this book examines how different cultural approaches can help shape new environmental legislation. By understanding these diverse perspectives, the text seeks to encourage local acceptance of legal frameworks designed to protect our planet. In 2019, the International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) officially recognized the Anthropocene, a new era defined by the significant impact of mankind on environmental change. This shift is changing how we approach both the hard sciences and the humanities. This work addresses the new epistemological and practical challenges that this era presents to various disciplines. It provides a necessary look at how legal structures must evolve to meet the demands of a world shaped by human activity.
