title = "The Anthropocene and Global Environmental Politics",
abstract = "The Anthropocene hypothesis continues to generate global debates, both in academia and among practitioners. The basic claim of the concept is that human activities have transformed planet Earth and its atmosphere. Subsequently, humans have evolved into a geological force. The transformation implies planetary-scale changes, evidence of which is provided in the scale and scope of environmental challenges that have significantly broadened and deepened and continue to threaten the very processes—from a stable climate to biodiversity—on which life on earth in general and human development in particular depend. These developments provide pause for thought on the important nexus of human activities and their subsequent impacts on planet Earth; however, a number of important questions remain unanswered.",
