A Single Planet for All Humanity

Anthropocene and New Name for Policy

It is increasingly accepted in common discussion that the Anthropocene is a new age of geological time for earth. The reality of climate change is the actual fact of the anthropocene that changes the global structure of any type of biochemical cycle in the atmosphere.  Defined by many scientists that the Anthropocene is a period of human-dominated geological epoch, when most of the gigantic change on the earth system is caused by human intervention. The impact not only emerged in physical reaction on earth but also rearranged social life. Here, social structure will need to be restructured to enable society to manage and anticipate human behavior within the new earth.

By that, social scientists and policy experts have discussed the responsibility of humans to take care of any other creatures on earth. Therefore, topics about the new character of policies are very relevant. One of the central questions is, do we still have the same luxurious prestige for human rights? Or, do we need to rethink human rights to consider animal rights and things’ rights?
