Beschreibung
The “Anthropocene”, i.e., the “age of humans”, is the current geochronological epoch we are living in. It is called thus because our collective behaviour now leaves a visible mark on the face of the earth at a large scale.
In this course, we will explore a broad variety of aspects of the emerging concept of the Anthropocene. First introduced by Crutzen and Störmer (2000), the concept is now widely accepted and discussed in many disciplines. Initially, we will consider basic physical facts (as presented in the most recent IPCC report.) Physical tipping points of the climate and the biosphere may destabilize the earth systems as a whole; some planetary boundaries have already been crossed, while others are still in the green zone. What are save pathways that keep the Earth system well below the critical 1.5° limit of global temperature rise, as agreed upon in Paris 2015? While the climate crisis receives a great deal of public awareness, biodiversity loss – which is as serious as the climate crisis – receives much less of it. What is biodiversity and why is its loss a reason of concern?
In the second part of the seminar, we discuss the great transformation that is necessary to keep the Earth system in balance in the Anthropocene. It comprises changes in all sectors of the Earth system, the athmosphere, ecology, economy, and society, with the aim of reaching resilient and sustainable regimes. What is (the history of the concept of) sustainability and sustainable development, what are the sustainability goals (SDGs)? Cognitive and social aspects of this transition are in the focus of this seminar in particular. How do we want to live in the future Anthropocene? Are there social tipping points as well – can individuals and societies tip irreversibly towards desirable sustainable futures? What are the mechanisms?
In the last part of the seminar, we will focus on specific areas of application in various sectors of the Anthropocene: Global gardening; our intergenerational relations; the role of women in the transforamtion; questions of nutrition, and lastly, art. At the end of the seminar, we will have a final discussion on the various aspects of the Anthropocene.
