The Politics of the Anthropocene

This is a book about how politics, government - and much else - needs to change in response to the transition from the Holocene to the Anthropocene. The Holocene is the last 12,000 years of unusual stability in the Earth system. The Anthropocene is the emerging epoch of human-caused instability in the system and its life-support capacities.

The analysis is developed in the context of issues such as climate change,biodiversity, and global efforts to address sustainability.
