On Tuesday 18 October, at 10 am, it will be held at the Conference Hall of the Faculty of Arts presentation of "ecological justice in the era of the Anthropocene", edited by Teresa Vicente Jimenez, Professor of Philosophy of Law at the University of Murcia.
The event will take part, along with the editor itself, the other authors of the book: Carlos Berzosa, Francisco López Bermúdez, Eva Maria Rubio Fernández, Eduardo Salazar Ortuno and Pedro Costa Morata.
The book addresses the new paradigm of ecological justice as a legal model, but the physical, economic, political and ethical time.
The increasing human intervention in natural systems has brought us into a new geological era: the Anthropocene.
Among the changes caused by humans on the planet include global warming and climate change.
Warming of the climate system is one of the most serious threats to humanity.
Disruption of environmental balance between man and nature maintained for millennia poses risks such as food insecurity.
Simultaneously, technological advancement arouses reflection and new foundations of an ecological ethic.
An ethic of responsibility to future generations and the planet Earth, which inspires the demands of social and ecological justice from social movements.
For change to be real must facilitate access to the justice of the new socio-ecological demands of citizens and removing procedural obstacles that do not respond to ecological and social problems that stars this time.
Teresa Vicente Jimenez is a professor at the University of Murcia.
