Summary
The recognition of the Anthropocene casts stark light upon the impact of human activity on our environment. In so doing, it frames the way in which we must now view and manage our relationship with the environment, creating an imperative that we adopt an approach that holds human and environmental interests and rights in balance. Without that, we leave the future of the planet and all its inhabitants in jeopardy. Part of this requires a reconsideration of how we approach the relationship between human rights and the environment.
